Pulumi Community

Definitely - some discussions on this in <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/127> and <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/1691>. 

You can also do some of this already today with a combination of (a) code that runs in apply on dependencies  (b) runtime.isDryRun to ensure these only run during updates not previews (c) possibly dynamic providers if there is a need to precisely control the lifecycle. 

There’s lots more we want to do here! 

Thanks, I'll see what I can do with what you suggested.
