An AWS Python Pulumi program You can do something like the following ``` An AWS Python Pulumi program import pulumi import pulumi aws as aws Create an AWS resource S3 Bucket awsConfig = pulumi Config aws awsRegion = awsConfig get region if awsRegion = us east 2 raise ValueError provider has bad region pulumi export aws region selected awsRegion ``` Here are the aws provider <https www pulumi com docs reference pkg aws provider inputs|inputs> You can test it out by changing the region to and then it will throw the error `pulumi config set aws region us east 1` If you set it back to `pulumi config set aws region us east 2` no error will be thrown

Oh wait the default provider I m not sure you can get the default provider but it uses the default region declared in your config so what < cool fireman 90027> wrote will get you the same information If you need to do something with the provider you should explicitly declare a provider resource in your code But as far as your question about how to validate outputs the code I wrote should be applicable for all outputs

okay thank you it seems it s also limited to apply scope again disappointed about default provider since the best practice is to declare your provider directly would be better to disable default providers entirely I noticed in some threads here people having problems when migrating away from default provider to declared one

Yes the resolved value of an `Output` is only available within an apply That is the pulumi programming model Re disabling default providers is tracked in <https github com pulumi pulumi issues 3383|this issue> feel free to upvote or comment with your input
