pulumi preview

    Show a preview of updates to a stack’s resources

    Synopsis

    Show a preview of updates to a stack’s resources.

    This command displays a preview of the updates to an existing stack whose state is represented by an existing state file. The new desired state is computed by running a Pulumi program, and extracting all resource allocations from its resulting object graph. These allocations are then compared against the existing state to determine what operations must take place to achieve the desired state. No changes to the stack will actually take place.

    The program to run is loaded from the project in the current directory. Use the -C or --cwd flag to use a different directory.
