in general, i'd like to know what the equiv pattern is in pulumi that terraform `"data" "xxxx"` style resources is? Docs are all about writes

You can use the `.get` method on resources.

For the service resource, it'd be something like:

```k8s.core.v1.Service.get("my-service", "namespace/service-name")```
