Description

Hello,

Running a what-if deployment produces the below output in the standard output:

Is there any way to capture this to use somewhere else?

I'd like to include the result of the what-if operation in the workflow summary so that the users won't have to find buried in a step of the workflow.

Other uses that I can imagine for this also include printing the what-if in a pull request or save an artifact with infra changes.

I couldn't find it in the documentation, so if this is already supported, could you point me where to find the information? If not, could it be an addition?

Thank you.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Azure Deploy GitHub Action's handling of what-if deployment output and its documentation. Determine whether stdout can be exposed as an output for workflow summaries, pull requests, or artifacts, and document or implement the supported capture path with an example showing the resulting value.
