@colossal-alarm-90650 I don’t know the solution for getting a resource by AWS resource-tag. But what do you want to achieve? Perhaps a StackReference is the right thing to use here. I mean the resource you want to get is already managed by Pulumi, or?
c
It’s managed by another project. The object is created outside of the process I am running so I need a way of identifying whether it actually is there at all, and if so to retrieve and use it.
But I get what you mean… I could, conceivably, introspect the other project’s stack and obtain the name by digging around in there… hm. Ugly, but… feasible.
Still, it would be a lot better if I could simply use the tags for what they actually are intended… hm.
s
I see. Would be an interesting feature. Would you mind creating an issue for it? Then it’s better tracked than here 🙂
c
It does need a feature request? I figured it’d be a standard application of the AWS library? Perhaps not… strange.

Could you use 
aws.ec2.getInstance
? It seems to offer a couple of ways to query by tag: https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/aws/ec2/getinstance/
c
Perhaps…. but this was “for example”. Let’s take… well, a vpc then? Or a bucket? A WebAcl, something where the get function only accepts a name.
There’s unfortunately many of them.
