following the other thread, it seems like you’re trying to do a series of imperative actions?

12/02/2022, 5:48 AMexactly. this is what drew me to pulumi to begin with - it's impossible to do with straight terraform/cf/etc and not sure their respective CDKs are amenable to it, too. it's crucial to our use case - it's a go-no go

12/02/2022, 5:50 AMif that fails we'll go with crossplane but I find that prospect much less pleasing for the task

I don’t think crossplane can do this either. If you want imperative actions you likely can’t use any declarative tool

I’m not sure how you can achieve this in Pulumi

12/04/2022, 7:02 PMI can but it's quite backwards.
my pulumi program looks something like this:
<bunch of resources>
if <flag>:
<bunch of additional resources>
<resource modifications>
then main looks like this:
stack.up
# do some stuff here
flag = True
stack.up
# do more stuff here
(...)
this emulates it, but very awkwardly.

12/04/2022, 7:07 PMthe same would be in crossplane:
# push some resources to k8s
# do stuff
# push resource updates
# do stuff
(...)
but I strongly prefer pulumi for this case because it's far better integrated with my code for things like introspection of created resources
