Looking for ideas from the experts. I have a moderately complicated Pulumi script that works very well -- this is on AWS -- deploys S3, EKS, ACM certs, RDS, multiple k8s deployment and services, and Cloudflare records. The only problem is I have to run the process in phases -- if I try to run it straight through, there are errors relating to Output types. I understand the issue generally and have used

apply

and

Output.all

effectively in several places. But I can't figure out how to make a later step depend on a status of EKS itself, or a k8s deployment or service. I've tried things like:

## note -- depl
something_else(opts=pulumi.ResourceOptions(depends_on=app_depl)

## or

## note -- svc
something_else(opts=pulumi.ResourceOptions(depends_on=app_svc)

## or

app_hostname = app_svc.status.load_balancer.ingress[0].hostname
...
something_else(opts=pulumi.ResourceOptions(depends_on=app_hostname)

You can’t depends on an output of a resource, you can only depend on the resource itself. It looks like you’re trying to set a variable to the value of a property and depend on that

you need to make an

Input

of

something_else()

use an

Output

of

app_hostname

… if it’s not a direct attribute/`Output` then use

.apply()

something like:

something_else(
    ip_addrs = [
        app_hostname.status.apply(lambda x: x.load_balancer.ingress[0].hostname),
    ],
)

the

depends_on

will be inferred by pulumi b/c of the

Output

to

Input

relationship
