Question

Once I export a variable like pulumi export NodeName node btw node is of type pulumi Output I guess How do I access it and print it print NodeName doesnt work

The goal of `pulumi export` is to make it available outside of Pulumi You can `pulumi stack output` to get all outputs or `pulumi stack output NodeName` to get just that one From within the program you can print an output with `node apply lambda n print n ` or just `node apply print ` Note that those will only print the value once it is available

how do i get it into a variable

You get the value within the function passed to apply You can write a `def myfunc n ` and then write code within that function that does whatever you want and call `node apply myfunc ` See <https www pulumi com docs intro concepts programming model outputs> for much more detail on this

```h = str def myfunc n h = n node apply myfunc print h = format h prints h = lt class str gt ```

The equivalent of what you are trying to do there in Pulumi would be ```def myfunc n print n = format n node apply myfunc ``` If your real example is something different than this please share it and I can suggest how to structure in Pulumi
