Hi, I just came across the pulumi automation API, I haven't tried it yet but would someone be able to advise if automation API is something that we have to sign up for or will it work completely offline ?

It works without signup

I see, and if I would want to use it for end-to-end deployment. AKA 1. Have some python infrastructure defined with pulumi 2. use same .py file to run the plan of deployment to stdout 3. query 3rd party API for approval 4. if approved run apply on given plan 5. otherwise exit Would I be able to use automation api be able to do something like this ? Also, I take it this feature is just available as part of the product and free yes ?

Take a look at the examples repo for insight into what is possible https://github.com/pulumi/automation-api-examples
