Hi everyone! Is it possible to convert variable of type pulumi.StringOutput to string... I think it's with ApplyT but I'm running into errors trying to manipulate that.

Can you give an example that you are getting errors with? ApplyT is indeed the right way 

```ingressURL := ingress.Status.ApplyT(
		func(status interface{}) string {
			return *status.(*networkingv1.IngressStatus).LoadBalancer.Ingress[0].Hostname
		}).(pulumi.StringOutput)```
However <@U0220CGL4P5>, I'm not sure how to get the Hostname as just a string...

You can’t - it is not known deterministically, so you can only access it inside the ApplyT (and then use it elsewhere as an Output).

I found out how to solve that. Route53 zone IDs never change so I defined those in pulumi config file
