pulumi-resource-command

This is a simple Pulumi provider that allows one to run arbitrary commands and treat their outputs as a resource. With this, anything can be done in a Pulumi program.

It is important to ensure that the output of a command is deterministic. If it is not, use the diff command to ensure the net results are deterministic. The output of the update and and create commands should remain the same (not just the command effects). See the examples for usage details.

Usage

See ./examples folder for examples of plugin usage for available runtimes.

Note: python and nodejs runtimes will pull required plugin binaries automatically, for dotnet and go runtimes check Installation instruction below
