does pulumi make calls out to github for some reason? i've started to notice the following when running pulumi up or preview:

Resources:

yes to install providers from the releases api

so these are non destructive warnings/errors?

correct, you may want to set a github token and it’ll provision faster

hmm, we don't use github but i can see about creating an account for this purpose.

@sparse-gold-10561 can you provide all the log messages after that? we shouldn’t delay for that long

i dont think it delayed the 26 mins. it finished in regular time i think

We try to download from github, and then from get.pulumi.com. @billowy-army-68599 raised https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/12450, we'll look at making the logs a bit clearer here

Thanks guys
