is Pulumi ready for prime time? I just tried creating an EC2 instance using Pulumi -> works. Now I terminate the instance within the AWS console. I expect that when I run

pulumi up

, pulumi will detect the difference and attempt to create another instance. Instead it keeps thinking and saying that nothing has changed? (this is on the latest version of Pulumi, v3.37.1, btw)

pulumi refresh

before

pulumi up

to detect drift

Thanks. I will try that. I'm just used to not needing to do any sort of refresh with Terraform

Yeh this is just a difference in default's. Terraform defaults to doing a refresh before every operation, pulumi doesn't. Doing it is slightly safer, not doing it is a lot faster. You can either call

pulumi refresh

or

pulumi up --refresh

or add

options: refresh: true

to your Pulumi.yaml file.

Ok, great! Thanks for the details on the options!
