Question

Hi When using `pulumi export ` is it possible to use that output to a variable and use this data later in the code ```my volumeID = pulumi export volume ID volume id ``` or is it just for output

you can use `volume id` directly Or if you need to use `apply ` something like ```member=service account email apply lambda x serviceAccount + x ```

I use `volume id` in Pulumi ```ebs att = aws ec2 VolumeAttachment volume tags Name device name=volume device name volume id=volume id instance id=server id ``` but that is for aws Pulumi functions i want to write that volume id to file ```fw = open myFile txt w fw write volume id fw close ```

In this case you need to wrap it in a function so that values are interpolated in runtime ```def pulumi output renderer kps args to render gt None from service scripts template files import template config jinja2 variables dict kps = TODO define varialbes for KPS values project name project name project zones gcp region zones template config args to render 0 args to render 1 jinja2 variables dict kps render in place=False write to stdout=False Output all kps additional scrape configs out file location kps additional scrape configs j2 location apply pulumi output renderer kps ```

< red match 15116> thanks for the elegant code This looks good But how can I send additional parameter into this function ```def write id to file id instanceName with open myFile txt w as fw fw write id + instanceName volume id apply write id to file instanceName ``` I tested out with global variable but that did not work when there is multiple instances
