Hi Team, Is there a way to cache Pulumi stack resource creation instead of rebuilding the whole stack again.

Stack resources are stored in the pulumi state files. Can you clarify what sequence of commands you're attempting to optimise?

The pulumi up command when provisioning resources.

pulumi up

won't rebuild resources, unless you're using a weird Provider

I don't want it to build everything from scratch including the resource.

What does

pulumi preview

tell you it intends on doing?

It wants to update the changes. Now my issue is that it rebouilds the docker images every time even if I have not updated the images configuration since I am usinf ECR and ECS.

I see. Personally I don't use the docker provider to build my images, I do that in a distinct CICD step.

PS: I am using Jenkins CI

const myAppImage = new docker.Image("my-app-image", {
    build: {
        args: {
            BUILDKIT_INLINE_CACHE: "1",
        },
        cacheFrom: {
            images: [pulumi.interpolate`${ecrRepository.repositoryUrl}:latest`],
        },
        context: "app/",
        dockerfile: "Dockerfile",
    },
    imageName: pulumi.interpolate`${ecrRepository.repositoryUrl}:latest`,
    registry: {
        password: pulumi.secret(authToken.apply(authToken => authToken.password)),
        server: ecrRepository.repositoryUrl,
    },
});

is a doco example of image caching

Ok. Let me try it.
