Question

is there a way I can debug python starlark ipython for example or any remote debugging I would like to know why `dns name` of `pulumi gcp dns ManagedZone` is class `pulumi output Output` and how to convert it to `str ` so I can use it later

I d start by reading about Inputs Outputs and Apply <https www pulumi com docs intro concepts programming model outputs>

this does not answer your debugging question but is important to understand when working with pulumi

Fundamentally working with the cloud is asynchronous Many of these values that you see as `Output` are not known at runtime They become eventually available as cloud resources are created Because of this you need to use ` Apply ` to execute callbacks when those resources become available ` Apply ` creates a new asynchronous future that can be passed as input to another cloud resource For instance you can create a VPC and it will have a subnetID output that can be passed as input to create an EC2 instance or virtual machine

hmm but is there a terminal where I can see the output for debugging I m missing `terraform console` or `ipython` Here is good ex lets say I have this decliration ` ```b81 zone = dns ManagedZone b81 root description= Root of b81 dev dns name= b81 dev labels= managed by pulumi ``` and I want to use `b81 zone dns name` but I simply can t get it disappointed The closest that I got is ` ```b81 zone dns name apply lambda dns name dns name ``` but it still returns Output class I just need a terminal or a way to debug this class

What do you want to use it for Do you want to consume it from outside the program If so you can use a stack output <https www pulumi com docs intro concepts programming model stack outputs>

You can also do print statements from within ` Apply` calls
