Dumb question but is there a way of getting a string out of an Outpus lt string gt using the C SDK

Use `Apply` See <https www pulumi com docs intro concepts programming model apply> ```var url = virtualmachine DnsName Apply dnsName = gt https + dnsName ```

Thank you for the response Justin but doesn t the Apply method still returns an Output of something

My use case is to generate a SAS token via `Pulumi Azure Storage Invokes GetAccountBlobContainerSAS` for a storage account I m creating but the GetAccountBlobContainerSASArgs has strings properties instead of Input<string> parameters

microscopic-pilot-97530 · Answer

You ll need to call `GetAccountBlobContainerSAS` inside the `Apply` where the argument will be a string

Works like a charm thanks

Great that you made it work Note that we have `SharedAccessSignature SignedBlobReadUrl blob storageAccount ` in the standard library

careful-state-15277 · Answer

Nice will look into that one BTW I love pulumi guys

turned gt 3k LOC of ARM template into ~500 lines of C

tall-librarian-49374 · Answer

Nice Maybe you can pack it up even further slightly smiling face

careful-state-15277 · Answer

Sure but I m just starting out

careful-state-15277 · Answer

so I still have a lot to learn here

I have one question can I somehow import an existing resource group into a pulumi stack

tall-librarian-49374 · Answer

yes you can do you want to just reference it to retrieve its property or do you want to start managing it from pulumi

tall-librarian-49374 · Answer

In any case take a look here <https www pulumi com blog adopting existing cloud resources into pulumi >

careful-state-15277 · Answer

My plan is to throw away the arm template and replace it with pulumi the problem is that pulumi generates names that differ from the one I ve generated already

careful-state-15277 · Answer

thanks will look into it

tall-librarian-49374 · Answer

you can override the default names

tall-librarian-49374 · Answer

<https www pulumi com docs intro concepts programming model names> and below

careful-state-15277 · Answer

you mean by specifinng the whole name

tall-librarian-49374 · Answer

yes

careful-state-15277 · Answer

I know but for ~100 resources is a bit tedious to do

careful-state-15277 · Answer

that s eventually my plan

careful-state-15277 · Answer

I was hoping to find something smarter though slightly smiling face

tall-librarian-49374 · Answer

like what

careful-state-15277 · Answer

like importing the existing resources into a stack so pulumi can use the existing names instead of generating new ones but I have to admit I didn t read the docs on that part because I m just focusing on creating the equivalent of the arm template now

careful-state-15277 · Answer

so I may have missed something there

tall-librarian-49374 · Answer

So adopting above is the way to import resources but you still have to write code for them manually and resolve IDs not names There s no auto import tool currently
