Or is there a way to access environment variables in your code instead the config values from the environment?

I have done horrible horrible things to environment variables. Node's process.env and Python's OS.environ should both work beautifully - what language are you using?

Python. Sorry “environment” might be confusing. I’m referring to the pulumi esc https://www.pulumi.com/docs/esc/

That will depend on your ESC configuration, I'd say. Generally, you'd use the

pulumiConfig

option in the ESC definition, which means you have to pull them from the Pulumi configuration.

Right. I am doing something like

client_id = config.require("azure_client_id")

but the client id doesn’t change from stack to stack. However I need to reference it in the code. I saw a PR on github. Maybe it’ll come one day.

I might be missing something here. You can do what you're describing with ESC and the

pulumiConfig

keyword today, using exactly the code you've shared above. Is this not working for you?

Ah. Yeah, you can't do that yet, AFAIK.
