Only the Release resource is stored in the Pulumi state; everything in the release is managed by Helm and stored by Helm on the cluster. This page has more details: <https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/kubernetes/how-to-guides/choosing-the-right-helm-resource-for-your-use-case/>

Thanks. seems like I am able to get the list of created services, in this case the associated loadBalancer,  in a helm release through `_nginxRelease_.resourceNames['Service/v1'][0]`. I wonder what the easiest way is to grab the ipaddress of this service seeing as I have its name

You could try the Get method to query the resource:
<https://www.pulumi.com/docs/concepts/resources/get/|https://www.pulumi.com/docs/concepts/resources/get/>

There's an example to query the resource in the docs: <https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/kubernetes/api-docs/helm/v3/release/|https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/kubernetes/api-docs/helm/v3/release/>

Should help get you there
