I trying casting it to a string with `str()` and that didn't work.

I also couldn't drop into a pdb debugger to inspect the thing. :confused:

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

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)`

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>

&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.

Yeah, it is not terribly intuitive, but it's an almost direct port from JavaScript

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