I’d like to try out the

pulumi up --target

option, however I am seeing that the preview is not limited to the targeted URN I provide. Is that expected? Will the targeting only affect the actual

up

once I approve it.

Could you share the output you are seeing by any chance? Note that there were a couple improvements here in the 1.6.0 release last week: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/2522

I did actually upgrade to

1.6.0

already. This is what I’m seeing currently:

❯ pulumi up --suppress-outputs -t urn:pulumi:clusters::infrastructure::spotinst:aws/ocean:Ocean::web-dev --target-dependents
