Question

wave question on pulumi secrets amp outout I ve an API key which I am saving as a secret that I need to pass into a ecs task definition as a `string` within `options` for `logConfiguration` Unlike the `require` method which return the raw type the `requireSecret` method returns an `Output lt string gt ` type I noticed a similar requirement for passing in `environments` in handled by specifying a type of `pulumi Input lt KeyValuePair gt ` where as `LogConfigurations options` has the type ` key string string ` Can I use an `Output` type with `LogConfigurations options`

usually you re gonna have issues if you try to pass `Output lt X gt ` to functions that do not expect `Input lt X gt `

prehistoric-activity-61023 · Answer

`Output lt X gt ` is a wrapper for type `X` and it s necessary because the value might not be available at the beginning because for example it comes from other cloud resources created dynamically

can you share some reference what resource you re talking about

prehistoric-activity-61023 · Answer

I ve found <https www pulumi com docs reference pkg aws ecs taskdefinition > but there s nothing called `logConfiguration`

prehistoric-activity-61023 · Answer

Ok I ve found sth here <https www pulumi com docs reference pkg nodejs pulumi awsx ecs Container logConfiguration>

prehistoric-activity-61023 · Answer

so it s possible you will need to generate `logConfiguration` value using pulumi `apply` function

prehistoric-activity-61023 · Answer

assuming you have `Output lt string gt ` called `mySecret` you should write treat it as a hint and not a working example I usually use python with pulumi ``` logConfiguration mySecret apply s = gt foo bar options s ``` instead of ``` logConfiguration foo bar options mySecret ```
