Hello, I'm making use of the Automation API to spin up some infrastructure. However, this process takes ~5-10 mins because of the resources being created/modified. Is there a recommended way to report some sort of _progress_ of the stack being spun up? Would hitting the Pulumi REST API to get the stack and resource statuses be a good way to do that?

are you looking for the overall process of the stack, or the progress of the cloud resources?

Hmm, ideally I'd want to represent progress with some sort of progress bar. Probably just seeing the status of each resource would be sufficient. ie. "8/10 resources complete"

I could weight some of the more time-intensive resources accordingly if needed.

you could totally build that, I have an example at <http://github.com/jaxxstorm/connectme|github.com/jaxxstorm/connectme>
