No matter how you like to participate in developer communities, Pulumi wants to meet you there. If you want to meet other Pulumi users to share use-cases and best practices, contribute code or documentation, see us at an event, or just tell a story about something cool you did with Pulumi, you are part of our community.

Pulumi Community

The workaround is in design only:
&gt; a higher-level component could be designed which blocked the resource creation indefinitely waiting for manual approval (effectively polling internally for the approval validation to have succeeded)

I have a few managed SNS email topic subscriptions that I got working in Terraform by creating them manually then importing them. I imagine the same would work in Pulumi, and would be easier than implementing that workaround.
