curious if in pulumi i can lazily update properties? for example i would like to create a lambda function but then update its environment inside an

all

callback since the AWS API supports an update i know i can do it all in one step and this isn't a very declarative question but i'm working on something lower level that would benefit from this

It’s not currently possible but we’re trying to work out a way of doing this because it allows us to do circular dependencies

yeah the circular dependency was actually the reason i asked

Can you do it from the command line?

sorry not following, do what?

it’s a bit… hacky… but if you can update the environment using the AWS CLI then we have the command provider for this: https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/command/ but it might be a workaround

ah yeah i could use that

Yeah - the

Command

package is probably the best way to go for now. That will ensure you can control the lifecycle of these additional actions as part of the CRUD lifecycle (unlike with

apply

which just runs on every update). We would love in the future to allow something like Command but with callbacks you can implement directly in code (as callbacks invoked on Create/Update/Delete), so that you could just use the SDK directly instead of having an AWS CLI dependency. There's some other discussion on future opportunities in this direction in https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/3021, https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/13999 and https://www.pulumi.com/blog/exploring-circular-dependencies/.

gotcha makes sense i'll poke through those
