Hi, Is it possible to create k8s resources from templated yaml files, with outputs of other pulumi resources as input? The basic flow I’m after is • create an aws resource • use one of the outputs to render a k8s yaml • apply the k8s resource to the cluster It seems I can’t use the

YAML

field of

yaml.ConfigGroupArgs (pulumi/pulumi-kubernetes/sdk/v3/go/kubernetes)

because it expects plain

[]string

, and I can’t use

Transformations

as the docs state that

any values set on the state must be prompt (not Output values)

. The docs also state that I shouldn’t use

Apply

and create the k8s resource in the callback because it could lead to 

pulumi preview

 being wrong. Is there a solution other than using native k8s sdk resources instead of

yaml.ConfigGroups

? Thanks

thanks @great-breakfast-56601, I’m familiar with kustomize, but as far as I understand kustomizations are still “static” in nature. What I need is editing a k8s resource based on output of another aws resource. for example, a deployment that accepts the vpc cidr as a flag.

You can use the transformations, no?

I would need to use

Apply

inside the transformation. The transformation docs state

any values set on the state must be prompt (not Output values)

Well, we just hung the thread till we had the values we wanted. But we're getting rid of the transform in favour of this in the near term: https://fluxcd.io/docs/components/kustomize/kustomization/#variable-substitution

What do you mean by

we just hung the thread till we had the values we wanted.

? How do you technically do that? and how does it affect the previews using

pulumi up

?
