you could talk to the kubernetes api directly using your language of choice

put the code with your pulumi stack and then import the resource if neeeded

How can u talk to the kubernetes api directly using pulumi?

Pulumi allows you to execute any piece of code - even code that doesn't use it's API directly

``````

Example: <https://www.pulumi.com/blog/deploying-mysql-schemas-using-dynamic-providers/>
This example uses the `mysql-connector-python` module, it's referred to in requirements
You can use any upstream code base and/or build your own that can be called when running your stack

Okay thanks, will take a look at dynamic providers!

If you're using python check out <https://github.com/kubernetes-client/python>

actually looks like there's one for each language

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");```
