Hey guys, just discovered Terraform has "connections" and "provisioner". Is there a way to make a VM with Pulumi, and automatically run some commands on said vm? (I can nicely get/use the ip address, but I'm wondering about provisioning)

yes! we have examples in python https://github.com/pulumi/examples/tree/master/aws-py-ec2-provisioners and typescript https://github.com/pulumi/examples/tree/master/aws-ts-ec2-provisioners

Great, a big thankyou!!

That's just for AWS and you didn't specify which cloud you're on. AWS itself has also user data for EC2 out of the box. On Azure VMs you can use many different ways, most commonly the "custom script extension" to execute code.

I'm on DigitalOcean, but atleast i have something to work with now 🙂
