Research direction

Start with the aws-ts-eks example and its template page, then reproduce the failure through pulumi new using the missing aws-iam-authenticator. Check the pulumi up recovery message after the update fails. Done means the prerequisite is visible before use and the message clearly tells users to rerun pulumi up after fixing it.

Description

area/examples impact/usability

I was excited to try out the new badge support for the https://github.com/pulumi/examples/tree/master/aws-ts-eks example. Sadly, it failed promptly with

    error: Could not find aws-iam-authenticator for EKS. See https://github.com/pulumi/eks#installing for installation instructions.
    error: an unhandled error occurred: Program exited with non-zero exit code: 1

I understand it's too difficult/brittle to attempt to install the aws-iam-authenticator package automatically. But it would be nice if the template page somehow told me this. And, after failing to update as part of a new, I think we should say something like "after fixing these problems, rerun pulumi up to complete this update."
