pulumi refresh

    Refresh the resources in a stack

    Synopsis

    Refresh the resources in a stack.

    This command compares the current stack’s resource state with the state known to exist in the actual cloud provider. Any such changes are adopted into the current stack. Note that if the program text isn’t updated accordingly, subsequent updates may still appear to be out of sync with respect to the cloud provider’s source of truth.

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