How can I get the underlying value of an `Output`

Question

You can not get at the raw value during a `pulumi update` because in some cases it may not be known for example during a preview You can however take any Output lt T gt and call apply on it Apply takes a function which gets the underlying value and allows you to transform it and then wraps the result in an Output lt T gt
