04/17/2020, 9:13 PMIs there a way to share resource between stacks without StackReference? I have only one resource in entire project (aws.iam.User whose credentials are used by 3rd party and it should be same for all environments) and it seems a bit overhead to create separate pulumi project and stack just to be able to get stackreference for that user in my dev/qa/prod stacks

04/17/2020, 9:19 PMif you know the name then you can use .get to look up the User?

04/17/2020, 9:59 PMI came up with following solutions eventually:
1. created new "shared" stack in addition to dev/qa/prod
2. Added shared resource to that stack like:
Copy code
const userName = "sharedUser";
if (pulumi.getStack() == "shared") {
const user = new aws.iam.User(userName, { name: userName });
return;
}
const user = aws.iam.User.get(userName, userName);acceptable-stone-35112

then I don't need stack reference to grab it from output of shared stack - just do .get() like you suggested assuming that shared stack was created
