can you elaborate on what you mean by this?

I am running UserData code. This code generates some shell output. I’m wondering if this output could be exposed/accessed by Pulumi?

The object returned from ec2.Instance does have a user_data field but this seems to be encoded.

I suspect that might be the encoded input rather than the output

Correct — that field is just what you put _in_, not what comes out.

I believe if you want to capture the output of a script that runs on instance create, you’d want the Command provider: <https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/command/>

The `remote.Command` command exposes a `stdout` property: <https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/command/api-docs/remote/command/#stdout_csharp>

Awesome! This is exactly what i was looking for. thanks <@UDWGK72BY>

This looks great for a direct connection to a host. Does it support a jump-box / bastion? (perhaps that could be handled in an ssh-config file somewhere)

I don’t think there’s anything built-in that handles indirect connections like this for you — at least not yet.

You’re correct. I did some very funky stuff to jump to the next box. It’s not pretty tho. Wouldn’t be hard to extend this module/package to include the -J (or arbitrary) ssh options
