LGTM. I think it'd be nice if Terraform core supported denoting resource restarts/downtime like this in plan at a higher level, similar to how it denotes (forces new resource)

Thanks @bflad!

+1 for adding a mean to warn about restarts/downtime in plans!

Edit: digging into the existing issues to see if its already there...

@bflad Totally agreed, the current behaviour is not ideal at all and is kind of breaking the promise of Terraform that apply will do what plan suggests.

We did discuss some improvements in the schema a while ago. I'm don't think there's a specific issue in core repo yet - so feel free to create one and we can all chime in with ideas.

@radeksimko I already created the issue https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/16624 last week.
