Integrate terraform plan with cloudformation changesets

[torfredrik]

When a cloudformation stack is changed in terraform the terraform plan only shows a change to the stack, it would be useful to know the underlying resource changes that will occur. An easy way to add this feature is using cloudformation change sets .

That would be a nice feature.

Seems like a potential use-case for #8769, though it doesn't fit all that great with my current framing of the problem since it looks like a CloudFormation changeset is a first-class object whose lifecycle ought to be managed, rather than just something we can create during plan and then leave dangling.

That is correct, cleaning up the change set after a plan should be the way to go about it.

That seems wrong to me... if you create a changeset in the plan, then you should execute the changeset in the apply.
