Appsettings.json and Secrets.json in Pulumi. What are the best practices for using

appsettings.json

and

secrets.json

in C# Pulumi projects? My scenario is that I want to use a connection string for a resource on a completely different resource group. not controlled by pulumi as an application setting for my azure app service. I want to store the value of this connection string in

secrets.json

like I would for any typicaly .net application. The only docs I can find is this https://www.pulumi.com/blog/7-ways-to-deal-with-application-secrets-in-azure/#2-configuration-files but this simply says "_With some configuration not shown here, the properties are filled at startup_", but it is the stuff that is not shown that I would love to see.

I believe the part that says With some configuration not shown here... is referencing the fact that you'd need to load the configuration(s) yourself through something like:

new ConfigurationBuilder
  .AddJsonFile("appSettings.json", true, true)
  .Build();

You'd then be able to load the configuration details into a POCO, where the rest of your app is free to use it.

Yes, you should wire up config as you would outside of Pulumi.
