jikkou update
Create or update resources from the resource definition files.
Synopsis
Reconcile the target platform by creating or updating resources that are described by the resource definition files passed as arguments. This command uses the UPDATE reconciliation mode, meaning new resources will be created and existing resources will be updated. Resources that exist on the platform but are not described in the resource files will not be deleted.
