a

StringMapOutput

is really a promise that a string map will resolve sometime later; it's not concrete to range over at that point - You can use

MapIndex

on it to get a promise of an output that will come as a lookup of a key.. but if you really need to range over it, you'll have to use

Apply

which will cause your function to run once it's resolved - see https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/programming-model/#apply

Thank you so much, first time using pulumi and once you said this it all clicked, the same way I parse out the state and the same way I apply it
