Hi all! Recently, I started developing a Dynamic Resource Provider in Python for a specific platform. My question is: *Is there a way to implement

get

function for a Dynamic Resource? (*https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/resources/get/) I need to fetch data about a particular resource but not necessarily import it into the state. I would really appreciate a short example of how this can be done.

Implement read:

def read(self, id_: str, props: Any) -> ReadResult:

Thank you very much! I like the idea of Dynamic Resource that retrieves data.

It's a little bit of a hack, but you could implement Diff so that it always returns that there's a change that needs Update so that every

up

the engine calls the Update method.

And what do you think about putting a

timestamp

into the resource ID? IMO this will do the trick 😉

I think that might trip up some replace logic, I'd lean towards just returning a change from Diff
