+__There's one big thing to take care of:__ Pulumi needs to be installed first like it is described on the official docs: https://www.pulumi.com/docs/get-started/install/#installation-script
+
+And __then__ install the dependencies containing `pulumi-aws` __afterwards__. Otherwise, you'll run into the error `error: no resource plugin 'aws' found in the workspace or on your $PATH` (see https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/2097 and [this build log](https://travis-ci.org/jonashackt/pulumi-python-aws-ansible/builds/603558895?utm_medium=notification&utm_source=github_status)).
+
+You can double check if your Pulumi AWS installation is correct with `pulumi plugin ls` - this has to contain the Pulumi aws resource plugin like that:
+
+```
+$ pulumi plugin ls
+NAME  KIND      VERSION  SIZE    INSTALLED    LAST USED
+aws   resource  1.7.0    220 MB  2 hours ago  2 hours ago
+```
+
+If this is empty, AWS connectivity won't work!
+
+After that's safe, the `aws CLI` has to be configured as usual. Now the TravisCI build is ready for it's script phase! After a `pulumi login` based on the correctly set `PULUMI_ACCESS_TOKEN` and the selection of the wanted Pulumi stack via `pulumi stack select dev`, you can start using Pulumi!
