Hey all,
I was wondering if someone else got this behaviour.
Running pulumi up, the preview shows something different than what the update will actually do.
For example the preview:
2022-03-16T07:24:25.3394059Z     ~ 7 to update
2022-03-16T07:24:25.3394311Z     - 1 to delete
2022-03-16T07:24:25.3394599Z     8 changes. 376 unchanged

But the update finishes successfully reporting this:
2022-03-16T07:27:10.8394827Z Resources:
2022-03-16T07:27:10.8395196Z     ~ 2 updated
2022-03-16T07:27:10.8395579Z     382 unchanged
2022-03-16T07:27:10.8395722Z
2022-03-16T07:27:10.8395984Z Duration: 2m8s

Is this normal?

If some of the resources are changed inside applys, then yes.

Always do your best to define resources outside apply().

Your calls to apply() can generally happen when assigning values in the constructor.
