10/13/2020, 3:26 PMHi, I would like to do a mathematical operation on an object output, for example pulumi_azure_nextgen.netapp.latest.Pool "total_throughput_mibps" attribute. But I cannot simply "netapp_pool.total_throughput_mibps * 10", is there a way to extract the float number? Thanks

10/13/2020, 3:40 PMWhat language are you writing in?
In typescript you should be able to take an Output<T> and turn it into T:
pulumi.all([myOutputT]).apply(([t]) => {
// do stuff with t
let myDownstreamDependency = new FooBar("asdasd", {
variable: t * 10
});
});e

Tried this:
netapp_pool.total_throughput_mibps.apply(lambda x: float(x))s

10/13/2020, 3:45 PMim not sure what type is returned in python but in js/ts/c# the type is a "future" type you need to wait over
e
echoing-postman-88590
10/13/2020, 3:45 PMIs my syntax correct?
s
steep-spoon-2023
10/13/2020, 3:45 PMi dont know the python sdk but from what i can see, when x is known yes this should be correct

10/13/2020, 3:46 PMBasically I get this error:
unsupported operand type(s) for *: 'Output' and 'int'
s
steep-spoon-2023
10/13/2020, 3:46 PMthe problem is if you are waiting on the output from another command then the return type is a "future" type rather than a solid type
yeah, the

10/13/2020, 3:47 PMSorry that error is when I try to multiply with an int

10/13/2020, 3:47 PMYeah thats expected behaviour
you need to

10/13/2020, 3:49 PMunderstood. Let me try

10/13/2020, 3:53 PMalternatively what you can do is return the result of the operation, as that would be an Output[float], then pass that to the resource you wish to create
e
echoing-postman-88590
10/13/2020, 3:54 PMHow can I do that?
s
steep-spoon-2023
10/13/2020, 3:58 PMmy_altered_output = your_property_thats_an_output.apply(
lambda x: 10 * x
)
my.new.Resource('name',
number_of_flibbles = my_altered_output
)forgive my python, its terrible but thats the general idea
e
echoing-postman-88590
10/13/2020, 3:58 PMok let me try
s
steep-spoon-2023
10/13/2020, 3:59 PMmost libraries accept Input[T] as the input type, of which Output[T] conforms to, so unless its a custom resource you made your self it should work out the box
though do note that if you want to create anything like a json/yaml config file for anything like a kubernetes config map/app config file, then those do need the full output, so youll need to create those in the apply lambda as i mentioned above
else serialising will complain that "Output cannot be serialised" or similar
If you're still struggling im quite happy to screenshare and lend an assist (though probably tomorrow am)
