04/25/2020, 4:25 PMHi guys, I want to create multiple GCE VMs using Pulumi. I can run the for loop to create multiple VMs but how do i export all the created VM's information. so basically "how do i export multiple VM's information after they are created ?" At the moment, pulumi is showing the information for last VM.

You can create an array, and then inside the loop add an item to the array for each VM. Then you can export that array.
I recently did a workshop that covered this exact thing (well, in AWS :-)) - see:
• labs: https://github.com/pulumi/infrastructure-as-code-workshop/tree/master/labs/aws/python/lab-02
• video:
(this particular part at ~1:02)

04/25/2020, 10:22 PMhttps://github.com/pulumi/examples/blob/master/gcp-py-network-component/config.py#L14 — it’s expecting an object, which is going to end up being an array of the cidrs: https://github.com/pulumi/examples/blob/master/gcp-py-network-component/network.py#L30

04/25/2020, 10:59 PMSo something like
pulumi config set subnet_cidr_blocks[0] 192.168.0.0faint-table-42725
04/25/2020, 10:59 PMand it should be a range, so i’m guessing you’ll want that to be more like 192.168.0.0/16

04/25/2020, 11:04 PMyou can also just edit the .yaml yourself if that’s easier

04/25/2020, 11:05 PMthank you so much for the help
high-orange-18933
04/25/2020, 11:05 PMthis command worked fine
