another option is to directly invoke the command in pulumi code itself like:

import pulumi_gcp as gcp
import subprocess

shell_result = subprocess.check_output(["uname", "-r"], text=True).strip()
bucket = gcp.storage.Bucket(
    "test",
    name=shell_result,
)

But I guess @crooked-pillow-11944 approach is better. The above will be non deterministic from my point of view. It can give different outputs every time it’s being run and it leaves no trace in source code/config values. Anyway, if this is something you used to do with terraform, here you go. I wouldn’t say pulumi has worse support for shell commands. It’s exactly the opposite 😄 You can do everything python/javascript/C#/go can do.
