02/10/2022, 12:43 PMi have a helm release i'm deploying with pulumi. Does anyone have a good pattern for making API calls to configure the service after it is created/updated? This helm chart is severely lacking in the ability to configure it decoratively in the chart values, so I need to configure it post-deployment.

Helm Release doesn't support transformations, but if you don't need Helm Release you can use Helm Chart resource which does.
Failing that, you'd need to fork the chart or deploy a separate service and use that instead of the Helm one
If you really really wanna go nuts, use a mutating admission controller; perhaps via Kyverno

02/10/2022, 12:53 PM... no what i want to do is use the service's REST API to configure the software, but i need to wait until after it's created/updated, and then ideally just invoke a whole bunch of
fetch()i've thought about spawning k8s jobs to configure it which would "work" but, also invoking the requests from within the pulumi/typescript process may be simpler by removing the container/job layer

I'll try and do something similar today. Worst case, we can wrap arbitrary code into a component resource that has the release as a dependency

02/11/2022, 6:40 PMi'm trying to use a componentresource, but the pulumi.all([release]).apply() code executes during preview, and it hard errors inside...

Apply code shouldn't run in preview 😲
Can you share code?
