09/09/2019, 7:22 PMHi all, I'm having a little difficulty determining exactly how to import outputs from another stack in AWS. Specifically, I have a VPC stack I'm using for all my networking and I need to pull in VPC ID and a bunch of subnet IDs. I have those outputting properly but the example on the site isn't very clear for AWS...
Is it as simple as defining a StackReference, then pulling in the output from stack.get_output(), like so?
Copy code
infra = pulumi.StackReference("my/project/stack")
public_subnet_ids = pulumi_aws.Provider("aws", {'public_subnet_ids': infra.get_output('Public Subnet IDs'))
private_subnet_ids = 'pulumi_aws.Provider("aws", {'web_subnet_ids': infra.get_output('Web Private Subnet IDs')
vpc_id = pulumi_aws.Provider("aws", {'vpc_id': infra.get_output('vpc_id')})h

09/09/2019, 7:41 PMHow can I pull in output variables from a different stack, for AWS, in Python? I can't find working examples

09/09/2019, 7:45 PMThank you, I hadn't found that page. That is what I was looking for.

09/10/2019, 3:45 PMThis isn't returning the output information, just a pulumi.output.Output object that I can't do anything with. Has anyone done this in practice and can advise? Thank you!
