hmm, are you sure that nodePool doesn’t have any outputs?

@freezing-umbrella-80278 I responded to your StackOverflow post: https://stackoverflow.com/a/70610508/645002

@billowy-army-68599 much appreciated will give it a go in a bit.

Damn, you were faster @billowy-army-68599 😛 Was about to write something quite similar.

@prehistoric-activity-61023 that's a good question it would appear provided the droplet isn't destroyed it is indeed static. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/will-my-droplet-have-a-static-ip You're right I should be using a load balancer, but I'm trying to build an ultra-cheapo cluster I can use to just play around with. I suppose if I ever needed to migrate I would just build a new cluster with a load balancer and add that to the DNS entries, then remove the DNS for the old cluster and wait for the traffic to fully drain before destroying it.

@freezing-umbrella-80278 I can imagine. I have k8s cluster on DO for pretty the same reason (I’d like to use GCP but it’s too expensive for my private, non-commercial project). Still, simple LB is pretty cheap on DO ($10/month) so you might save yourself some trouble and try to go that way.

@prehistoric-activity-61023 I was doing a 2 node, 1 LB cluster before on DO which was $30 a month

I see. Right now I’ve got 3xs-1vcpu-2gb + LB + container registry and it costs about ~$45

Yeah that's too rich for my blood, I'll wait until I have something worth spending that kind of cheddar on. 😄

I wouldn’t call it a 2 node cluster 😉 Most of the cloud offerings include control plane separately (even o GCP you can get one zonal control plane for free).

Fair enough, if feels like it's free because I still remember using Typhoon to deploy a k8s cluster to DO before they had their managed product. 😄 https://typhoon.psdn.io/architecture/digitalocean/

…and I used to think I know a lot about k8s.. I’ve never heard of Typhoon project.

Yeah it wasn't much fun to maintain, much happier now DO provides managed k8s

doesn't digitalocean.getDropletOutput return a promise and therefore need to be awaited?

Only if you're doing some string manipulation, if you're passing the result to another resource, Pulumi will figure it out for you

@billowy-army-68599 sounds like black magic. So does Pulumi register under the hood that

n

is actually a pending promise and you're attempting to access

n.ipv4Address

when constructing the

DnsRecord

. So the graph is created and then Pulumi will ensure the previous dependency and it's outputs are available before resolving the

DnsRecord

?

it does it inside the engine, but yes that's right.

apply()

is like saying "wait for this thing to resolve"

getSomethingOutput

is similar

That's awesome, thank you both for your help.

@freezing-umbrella-80278 if my SO answer helped, would be great to accept the answer
