Pulumi Community

It’s a type that is compatible with all the places that require what is fundamentally a future value (i.e. `pulumi.StringInput` ).

In a way, yes. I think others will chime in with a more complete explanation, but most Pulumi resources will allow you to take in a future value for parameters, and so you need a way to wrap an explicit value (i.e. a `string`) into something that adheres to that interface.
