These changes add the ability to export a stack's latest deployment or
import a new deployment to a stack via the Pulumi CLI. These
capabilities are exposed by two new verbs under `stack`:
- export, which writes the current stack's latest deployment to stdout
- import, which reads a new deployment from stdin and applies it to the
current stack.
In the local case, this simply involves reading/writing the stack's
latest checkpoint file. In the cloud case, this involves hitting two new
endpoints on the service to perform the export or import.
This change implements resource protection, as per pulumi/pulumi#689.
The overall idea is that a resource can be marked as "protect: true",
which will prevent deletion of that resource for any reason whatsoever
(straight deletion, replacement, etc). This is expressed in the
program. To "unprotect" a resource, one must perform an update setting
"protect: false", and then afterwards, they can delete the resource.
For example:
let res = new MyResource("precious", { .. }, { protect: true });
Afterwards, the resource will display in the CLI with a lock icon, and
any attempts to remove it will fail in the usual ways (in planning or,
worst case, during an actual update).
This was done by adding a new ResourceOptions bag parameter to the
base Resource types. This is unfortunately a breaking change, but now
is the right time to take this one. We had been adding new settings
one by one -- like parent and dependsOn -- and this new approach will
set us up to add any number of additional settings down the road,
without needing to worry about breaking anything ever again.
This is related to protected stacks, as described in
pulumi/pulumi-service#399. Most likely this will serve as a foundational
building block that enables the coarser grained policy management.
