Question

In Terraform there is a `data` type that I can use to refer to and verify external unmanaged resources Is there an equivalent in Pulumi

There is Generally this would be accomplished with a SDK such as the AWS SDK for node go python csharp You d import that SDK into your Pulumi project and are free to use the full scope

All the resources have a `get` function that creates a read only unmanaged version of the resource

And there are SDK wrappers in most modules

For example the AWS EC2 module has GetAmi GetNetworkInterfaces GetRoute etc <https www pulumi com registry packages aws api docs ec2 > scroll half way down the page

Yep that s also a great solution Generally the more complex the lookup the more likely you ll need to use an external SDK Eg if you have the AWS ARN ID of the resource use the `get` functions
