Question

Hi all At the moment I have a cronjob that makes a every x minutes of a given pvc in a namespace It does this by using a new image using the Pulumi cli image as a base image and adds a small Pulumi project that makes a new snapshot and deletes the previous one every time it runs Now this is all working fine but there is one small issue I need the value `Snapshot Handle` from the volumesnapshotcontent resource that is generated automatically when making a new snapshot Because it s generated automatically it is not a pulumi resource so as far as I know I can t get that value using pulumi I wanted to use pulumi for it so I can save it as a stackreference and use it in different places in my infrastructure I tried using because I can get the name of this volumesnapshotcontent from the volumesnapshot itself but this package does not support crd s Anyone an idea on how I could achieve this I thought of using a kubectl container to get it but I would prefer to keep it all pulumi

This can work really well for my purpose I use typescript so the javascript version should fit me well Then it won t be completely pulumi but I can at least write it in the same project And also looks easier then using the dynamic providers

Btw using the kubernets client was the way to go I was able to get the information I needed like so ```const k8sApi = kc makeApiClient CustomObjectsApi const volumeSnapshotContents = await k8sApi listClusterCustomObject <http snapshot storage k8s io|snapshot storage k8s io> v1 volumesnapshotcontents ```
