All your code needs to be in the class that inherits from

Stack

The use case that I'm trying to implement is to use

getVirtualNetwork

method and get existing subnets to calculate next cidr block and then use that cidr block as input for another Stack. If stack references are not designed to be used like that is there the right way for this case?

No, that sounds find. So in the first stack you would have the vnet id as the output and then the other stacks would use that and the

getVirtualNetwork

method and to get the address blocks

so, it's not possible to do it as a part of automation? the steps i was envisioning were: 1. automation script will get created subnets from Stack output's virtual network 2. script will figure out next available cidr block and put that as an input for other Stack I wanted to use

getVirtualNetwork

as part of the automation script but couldn't figure this out. I hope it's clearer what I'm trying to achieve here

Correct, you cannot use getVirtualNetwork in the automation script. You can only use that function within the pulumi program itself. However you can use the relevant SDK directly to get that information within the script if you’d rather.

got it, thanks!
