Question

I m trying to do something to get a Map of providers that I can use for populating other resource creation calls The provider creation seems to work but the Map stays empty and I can t use the providers anywhere ```function createProviderMap o accounts aws organizations Account Map lt string aws Provider gt let providerMap = new Map o accounts map o account = gt pulumi all o account id o account name apply id name = gt providerMap set name new aws Provider `$ id provider` assumeRole roleArn `arn aws iam $ id role OrganizationAccountAccessRole` sessionName PulumiSession profile config aws require profile region aws config requireRegion console log providerMap ``` I feel like I m missing something big but this is my first use of Map Perhaps the issue is I m creating the provider inside of a ` all` thoughts

Like a solution could be to just use the original array and run finds on it every time I need to get a provider but that feels icks

steep-toddler-94095 · Answer

you can t populate the `Map` within an `apply` like that Your function would have to return a ```pulumi Output lt x string aws Provider gt ``` but then the `Output` would sort of taint your resource types in a similar way that `Promise` does There isn t really a way around having to deal with `Output` as long as you want to get the `id` from an `aws organizations Account `

Let me step back and ask what the clever way to deal with this is

object per account representation and a getProvider method Maybe that method populates this provider if undefined

What I m trying to do is operate on a big ass json blob of accounts and what I want their configurations to be which roles added which control tower settings enabled

acceptable-army-69872 · Answer

or something like that so it s one codebase to many aws accounts

steep-toddler-94095 · Answer

what about adding the account id name as part of your json blob configuration so it doesn t need to be looked up during runtime

acceptable-army-69872 · Answer

The account id is only in the account blob if it s an older account

acceptable-army-69872 · Answer

So if an account doen t exist it creates it and adds it to the org

acceptable-army-69872 · Answer

it s really only the org object that has most of the information I m assuming using an apply from a getAccount to help has the same issues

steep-toddler-94095 · Answer

you ll run into a similar issue except the `getResource` functions return a `Promise` instead of an `Output` Given the requirement that you create some of these accounts dynamically I think you may just have to deal with having `Output lt Provider gt `s I don t recommend using `getOrganization` here because the promise may resolve before the new account is actually created The official stance is that it s not recommended to create resources within an `apply` but sometimes I do not see a better way around it

acceptable-army-69872 · Answer

I ll see what I can do to work around it I appreciate your insight

acceptable-army-69872 · Answer

when I say work around I mean adjust my approach

acceptable-army-69872 · Answer

I think I may go down the path of creating an account base class and then instantiating one per account I can have it do things like `if this accountId === undefined this accountId = createAccount name email ` so instead of big ass json blob big ass directory of account objects

for some reasons I feel like the problems will be smaller and less systemic doing it that way

acceptable-army-69872 · Answer

I ve done enough stuff like ```export function getOrCreateZone zoneName string any return aws route53 getZone name zoneName then zone = gt let zoneId any = zone zoneId if zoneId === undefined const newZone aws route53 Zone = new aws route53 Zone zoneName comment `$ config require stack $ zoneName service` name zoneName tags Name zoneName Environment config require stack zoneId = newZone zoneId apply zId = gt return `$ zId ` return zoneId ``` that I think it would work

steep-toddler-94095 · Answer

unrelated but I d highly suggest NOT using `any` At the very least let Typescript infer the type for you instead ```export function getOrCreateZone zoneName string return aws route53 getZone name zoneName then zone = gt zone zoneId as string | undefined new aws route53 Zone zoneName comment `$ config require stack $ zoneName service` name zoneName tags Name zoneName Environment config require stack zoneId ```

Fair point The step after getting it to work really should be cleaning stuff like any s up
