No matter how you like to participate in developer communities, Pulumi wants to meet you there. If you want to meet other Pulumi users to share use-cases and best practices, contribute code or documentation, see us at an event, or just tell a story about something cool you did with Pulumi, you are part of our community.

Pulumi Community

Automation API will work here as you described.
However, there is also the Command Provider: <https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/command/>
The command provider lets you run a local (or remote) script on create and a different one on destroy.

I was not aware of the Command provider, thanks!
