Question

Hello Brand new to Pulumi as of yesterday I m trying it out with Python since the Golang support hasn t fully landed yet Is there a way I can get the value of an Output as a Python primitive I m trying to pass one to `base64 b64encode` and it s not working since it s a `pulumi Output` and not a bytes like object

This is on a single Stack or are you referencing from another Stack

numerous-easter-93888 · Answer

If it s within a single Stack you need to use the ` apply ` function on the `pulumi Output` object For example `bastion ip = bastion private ip apply lambda foo s 32 foo `

Thanks that worked right away

clean-engineer-75963 · Answer

The docs suggest that the output of `apply` is another `Output` which is why I hadn t tried it yet <https www pulumi com docs intro concepts programming model outputs>

clean-engineer-75963 · Answer

gt The result of the call to apply is a new Output whose value is the value returned from the callback and which includes the dependencies of the original Output

You need to use the Lambda as a callback function in order to access the data you want
