Question

Hello I wonder if `await` can be used in typescript How do you use something like `aws iam User get` which returns a promise without await in your `index ts`

I don t normally see `await` in pulumi examples What you do see is ` lt resource gt apply ` that returns a `pulumi Output lt T gt ` that the pulumi SDK knows will eventually be filled and everything that depends on the Output will wait for its fulfillment

Basically you need to build a long graph of dependent functions that will eventually be executed Most of the pulumi SDK resources understand how to deal with a `pulumi Output lt T gt `

another option is to put anything you want to await in an async function and just call that function in `index ts`

Most resources take pulumi Input for their parameters which is a union type that includes Promise So you can pass a Promise directly in an argument

If you need to pass a thing in a Promise I think you can wrap the Promise in an Output using the `pulumi output` function then Pulumi will lift properties out of the Output as you need them
