CDK DIFF not displaying in AWS CF ChangeSet console

See original GitHub issue

I’ve just noticed that cdk diff is not displaying the ChangeSet in the AWS CF Console. Why ? Any reason for that ? ( seeing the ChangeSet in AWS CF Console history is too late with cdk deploy)

I like seeing the changes in console using cdk diff but they should be identical to what I should be visualising in AWS CF ChangeSet before applying them. Are they identical ?

Use Case

daily scenario: updating existing Stacks in various environments I don’t want to check the ChangeSet history but I would like to check prior to applying the changes with cdk deploy

Proposed Solution

cdk diff just this command or with a flag to display the ChangeSet details also in AWS CF ChangeSet Console
