if the name that I need to pass into `kubernetes.apps.v1.Deployment` comes from an `Output&lt;string&gt;`, how can I do that? it only accepts a `string`, not an `Output&lt;string&gt;`. I found <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/nodejs/pulumi/pulumi/#Unwrap|this>, but am unclear how to use it.

Which _name_? The Pulumi name (first parameter)? That parameter does not come from an Output&lt;string&gt;.

Values that go in args can be outputs. The name of a resource should never be an output. It's just like a variable: you need to know its name at compile time otherwise you can't use it.

Theoretically you could create the resource inside an `apply()`, but don't do that. You never need to (in my experience), and there are significant downsides.
