Hi, i am trying to figure out how to handle resources not created with pulumi, e.g. i wan't to create some Azure virtual machines in a virtual network and virtual subnet that are already there (managed by another pulumi project). I don't want to import them into my project and i dont want to manage them using my project, just accessing some informations about them (e.g. id, etc.) Is that possible? i am searching for the pulumi equivalent of terraforms

data

stuff. Maybe someone can shed some light how to solve it? Thanks a lot!

take a look at part called “Look up an Existing Instance Resource” in the API docs

ah yes... thanks man! i found it... lookup is done by using the specific functions in the modules, for my Azure network it is

network.get_virtual_network

. I wasnt aware of that

you’re gonna adjust quickly - trust me 😉

i am already loving it, configuration, secret handling and applying conditional logic is much easier

Also, in case it helps, if those other resources are managed by Pulumi then stack references can be used to get information about those resources from the other stack(s) https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/stack/#stackreferences
