does pulumi save the result of get_* as a resource in the stack?

I just happened to be reading about this yesterday. Assuming I’m understanding your question, no, it doesn’t: https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/resources/#resource-get

You can use the static

get

function, which is available on all resource types, to look up an existing resource’s ID. The

get

function is different from the

import

function. The difference is that, although the resulting resource object’s state will match the live state from an existing environment, the resource will not be managed by Pulumi.
