Hey guys. Could someone please explain the difference between gcp.container.Cluster.get and gcp.container.getCluster? Couldn't find anything on the web. Thank you

getCluster

is a lookup by name and location that gives you a

GetClusterResult

, which is essentially a metadata object (either directly or as a Pulumi output). It allows you to get information about an existing GKE cluster.

Cluster.get

requires you to know the provider ID and returns a

Cluster

resource that you can use in your program just like a new cluster you created, without making the cluster part of your stack like an import of the resource would. If you want to create a resource that requires a

Cluster

as an input and not just its name, you'd use

Cluster.get

but if you're just interested in learning certain properties,

getCluster

is probably the way to go.

Alternatively:

getCluster

is a wrapper around the GCP SDK call.

Cluster.get

is part of the Pulumi SDK.

thanks guys
