Question about pulumi in CI/CD - I know there are utilities out there that can convert terraform plans to human readable outputs so they can put the entire "plan" into a github comment, does anything like that exist for pulumi?

If you convert the TF code to Pulumi code (tf2pulumi or Pulumi Import), then run `pulumi preview` or `pulumi up`, there's an `explain` option which does what you're looking for.

Also Neo can do it, and it is much more verbose and detailed.

So the answer is: no external utility, no. It's a built-in feature :slightly_smiling_face:

This would be for self-hosted pulumi, no TF required. I'll check out the explain option

tf2pulumi only coverts TF code to Pulumi, not TF plans, I believe. `explain` works only on Pulumi state changes: it explains what it will do to your resources / state in order to bring them up to date with your Pulumi code.

Is there some documentation you can toss me for this? Cause I can't seem to be able to google `pulumi explain` without getting 30 videos going over the basics of pulumi

I don't think it's a command? I've only seen it in the CLI. Any time you see a preview (via `pulumi up` or `pulumi preview`), you're given the option to "explain".

Ah yeh, I was looking for something like this for pulumi

Nice. Yes, that's what explain does, and it's built in. It works on Pulumi code, but it has the same purpose.
