You can use `pulumi.interpolate` directly in that case.
```const userData = pulumi.interpolate`
IP Address: ${instance.publicIp}
Subnet ID: ${vpc.publicSubnetIds[0]}
`;```

full working code - <https://gist.github.com/clstokes/269ed81cd5f70ad66161dc17a8d90b95>

It looks like this doesn't work, but I just stopped doing it with two strings.
```const str = pulumi.interpolate'config ${inst.privateIp}';

const otherStr = '${str}'```

So I stopped using two strings, which is ugly, but since it works, whatever. I'll move on.

For two strings you can use .all and then .apply
