I noticed that when trying to use 
ctx.Export
inside of an 
.ApplyT
function, the export doesn't happen. Is this the expected behavior? Here's a code example:
Copy code
aksVNet.ID().ToStringOutput().ApplyT(func(id string) error {
	applicationAKSSubnetID := fmt.Sprintf("%s/subnets/Application", id)

	var clusterInput *aks.ClusterInput
	if err := cfg.TryObject(appAKSClusterConfigKey, &clusterInput); err != nil {
		return err
	}

	cluster, err = aks.CreateAKSCluster(ctx,
		clusterInput,
		applicationAKSSubnetID,
		commonTags)
	if err != nil {
		return err
	}
	
	ctx.Export("clusterName", cluster.Name)

	return nil
})

In general you should avoid creating resources and exports in apply

I do try to avoid it but there are times when I need a string value of a 
pulumi.StringOutput
that I haven't found another way to access without 
.ApplyT
you can see in the example that I'm trying to get a newly created VNet ID so I can build the subnet info. I wasn't been able to get the subnet ID directly
Is there a way to get a specific subnet's ID directly, even if it's a 
pulumi.StringOutput
type? I could refactor our code to not need the plain string if it's possible.

Which provider are you using?

Exporting values from within apply is not supported and will not work.

You can accomplish the same thing by running an apply, returning the value you want to export, and exporting the output returned by the apply. Some pseudocode:
Copy code
idOutput := val.Apply( v => ...someTransform.. return v.id);
ctx.export("idOutput", idOutput)

Sorry for the slow reply. I was able to get back to this today and ended up refactoring some functions to use 
pulumi.StringInput
as a parameter instead of 
String
I was able to avoid using 
ApplyT
after making that switch. Thanks for the guidance on this
