I am trying to access a stack output of a different stack, in this case a bucketName, like so:

const kafkaBucket = new aws.s3.Bucket("stream-demo-kafka-bucket");
export const bucketName = kafkaBucket.bucket;
....
#newProject
const infraStack = new pulumi.StackReference("fqdn-stackname");
const bucketName = infraStack.getOutput("bucketName");

In this case, bucketName is of type

Output<any>

and I want to turn it into a string to use in a K8s ReplicaSet deployment. I’ve tried:

const bucketName = infraStack.getOutput("bucketName").apply(bucket => bucket);

but that is still type

Output<any>

The closest I’ve gotten is setting the parameter type of my ReplicaSet function to type

Output<any>

then when using it in my config, I do

... }, {
                                name: "S3_BUCKET_NAME",
                                value: pulumi.interpolate `${bucketName}`
                            }...

Pulumi actually renders this as an update (I previously hardcoded the string) shown as:

~ value: "steam-demo-kafka-bucket-339079d" => "stream-demo-kafka-bucket-339079d"

I’m assuming that is really the same value? Is there a better way of getting the output?
