Hi All, I tried to find the answer but I couldn't Can I in golang pulumi export map of objects? For example I create 5 key-pair and I'd like to export map[string]*ec2.KeyPair. When I try to use:
Copy code
type KeyPairExport struct {
	KeyName pulumi.StringOutput `pulumi:"key_name"`
	Id      pulumi.StringOutput `pulumi:"id"`
}

		pairResources := make(map[pulumi.String]KeyPairExport)
		for _, kp := range keyPairs {
			nkp, _ := ec2.NewKeyPair(ctx, kp.Name, &ec2.KeyPairArgs{
				KeyName:   pulumi.String(environment + "-key-pair-" + kp.Name),
				PublicKey: pulumi.String("ssh-rsa key"),
				Tags:      tags,
			})
			pairResources[pulumi.String(kp.Name)] = KeyPairExport{
				KeyName: nkp.KeyName,
				Id:      nkp.KeyPairId,
			}

		}

		ctx.Export("key-pairs", pairResources)
I get the error:
Copy code
./main.go:65:27: cannot use pairResources (variable of type map[pulumi.String]KeyPairExport) as pulumi.Input value in argument to ctx.Export: map[pulumi.String]KeyPairExport does not implement pulumi.Input (missing method ElementType)

That's because 
map
is not an 
pulumi.Input
Also since you've got the keys of the map as strings why don't just use 
string
? Then to iterate over it after using 
pulumi.Map
for the type and 
string
for the key I get
Copy code
util.go:110:28: cannot use KeyPairExport{…} (value of type KeyPairExport) as pulumi.Input value in assignment: KeyPairExport does not implement pulumi.Input (missing method ElementType)
As 
KeyPairExport
again is not an 
Input
, so maybe marshalling to json is acceptable? Not sure about a better way
Copy code
type KeyPairExport struct {
		KeyName pulumi.StringOutput `pulumi:"key_name"`
		Id      pulumi.StringOutput `pulumi:"id"`
	}

	pairResources := pulumi.Map{}
	for _, kp := range keyPairs {
		nkp, _ := ec2.NewKeyPair(ctx, kp.Name, &ec2.KeyPairArgs{
			KeyName:   pulumi.String(environment + "-key-pair-" + kp.Name),
			PublicKey: pulumi.String("ssh-rsa key"),
		})
		pairResources[kp.Name] = pulumi.JSONMarshal(KeyPairExport{
			KeyName: nkp.KeyName,
			Id:      nkp.KeyPairId,
		})

	}

	ctx.Export("key-pairs", pairResources)
at least this compiles.

Thank you very much. I'll try it.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work:
Copy code
error: an unhandled error occurred: program failed:
waiting for RPCs: json: error calling MarshalJSON for type pulumi.StringOutput: Outputs can not be marshaled to JSON
The error happens in this line:
Copy code
ctx.Export("key-pairs", pairResources)
If I comment it - everything works.

Well, true that, it even says so in the doc
The Pulumi Go SDK does not currently support serializing or deserializing maps with unknown values.
How about
Copy code
pairResources[kp.Name] = pulumi.Sprintf("%s:%s", nkp.KeyName, nkp.KeyPairId)
?

In this case I have string instead of map. I'd like to keep map to properly process resources with StackReference.
I have this solution now:
Copy code
pairResources[kp.Name] = pulumi.All(nkp.KeyName, nkp.KeyPairId).ApplyT(func(v []any) KeyPairExport {
				return KeyPairExport{
					KeyName: v[0].(string),
					Id:      v[1].(string),
				}
			})
But not sure if it's a good solution..

But I see what you're trying to do, sorry might not fit into your use case but why not use https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/Connect-using-EC2-Instance-Connect.html? (and https://github.com/springload/aws-ssh to simplify connecting). So that ssh problem totally goes away 🙂

It doesn't help a lot as key-pair is just an example - I have for example EKS cluster with many worker nodes divided by labels - they need specific configuration. But thank you very much the links - it could be very useful anyway 🙂
If someone will be interested in the solution - I fixed it with this code:
Copy code
pairResources := pulumi.StringMapMap{}
		for _, kp := range keyPairs {
			nkp, _ := ec2.NewKeyPair(ctx, kp.Name, &ec2.KeyPairArgs{
				KeyName:   pulumi.String(environment + "-key-pair-" + kp.Name),
				PublicKey: pulumi.String(kp.PublicKey),
				Tags:      tags,
			})

			pairResources[kp.Name] = pulumi.StringMap{
				"key_name":    nkp.KeyName,
				"key_pair_id": nkp.KeyPairId,
			}
		}
		ctx.Export("key-pairs", pairResources)
The main idea - the correct datatype is 
StringMapMap
