Looking at the example of an ApplicationGateway at https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/azure-nextgen/network/applicationgateway/ specially at this bit:

frontendIPConfiguration: {
                id: "/subscriptions/subid/resourceGroups/rg1/providers/Microsoft.Network/applicationGateways/appgw/frontendIPConfigurations/appgwfip",
            },
            frontendPort: {
                id: "/subscriptions/subid/resourceGroups/rg1/providers/Microsoft.Network/applicationGateways/appgw/frontendPorts/appgwfp",
            },

I was wondering if there is some way to do something like a self-reference (e.g.

this

or

self

) Because the objects referenced in these example are aztually referencing an other object within the same resource. So this would become something like:

frontendIPConfiguration: {
                id: "${self.id}/frontendIPConfigurations/appgwfip",
            },
            frontendPort: {
                id: "${self.id}/frontendPorts/appgwfp",
            },

It feels very wrong to create the whole path/reference by hand, specially as I would also need access to the

subid

(SubscriptionID) which I think one should not deal with, it is implicit given by the connected user/principal.

I don’t think this is possible… The closest is probably using

resourceGroup.id

so that you don’t need to deal with that part
