which language SDK are you using?

typescript

if you pass the output from your LB to your route53 record, it should create the dependency graph correctly. In your case, it looks like a record already exists somehow? Do you know where that record is coming from?

yes, a previous run of my pulumi app

ahhh the loadbalancer is coming from helm?

yes and I need to get the elb resource to pass to the record

can you share your code in a github gist?

yes

while you're doing that, I will say that I generally actually give this responsibility to Kubernetes rather than Pulumi, and use this to do it: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/external-dns it will automatically populate DNS records from Kubernetes services

you're doing a

get

and creating the same record, that unfortunately won't work

actually the get should not be there, I was just trying something

you can't do checks like this to determine if values exist within Pulumi, you'll have to use the native AWS SDK in TypeScript to verify if this exists, but you shouldn't need to do it

I updated the gist. Anyway the get needs the id of the resource which makes no sense here

you should just be able to do this:

const status = await ambassador.getResourceProperty( "v1/Service", 'default', "ambassador", "status" );
const hostname = status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].hostname;
const zone = await aws.route53.getZone( { name: 'xxx.xx' } );

hostname.apply( async name => {
new aws.route53.Record( `api${ pulumi.getStack() }.xxx.x`, {
      zoneId: zone.zoneId,
      name: `api${ pulumi.getStack() }.xxx.xx`,
      type: "A",
      aliases: [ { evaluateTargetHealth: false, name: name, zoneId: elb.zoneId } ],
    } );
  } );

(untested)

you miss the elb here which is necessary

the ambassador service is creating the ELB, right?

yes

the the hostname of that ELB is available in Kubernetes

yes it’s created with the chart

perhaps I'm missing something, why do you need to get the ELB? the A record only needs a DNS name, which you already have from the chart

I need to create an alias record to target the elb

I'm spinning up some infra to try get this working

ok cool, thanks!
