Lots of debugging. My suggestion is to use the docker container terraform and pulumi images in a clean workspace to showcase the executions. There was a lot of troubleshooting and time wasted doing re-runs and trying to login to the pulumi dashboard after failure to refresh auth tokens. thanks though
I like terraform more. It’s simpler to use and breaks down less often. Had way fewer problems with it than with pulumi.
