Hello everyone! I am working with Pulumi do deploy a stack on Kubernetes. I would like to include the name of one my backend service in the nginx.conf of the frontend via a config-map. Is there a better way rather than put a string in the config and run a replace on the string? The issue is that

api_url

is an Output type and the replace function expects a string. The following is my snippet:

with open('./nginx.conf', 'r') as file:
        config = file.read()
        config = config.replace("{{API_URL}}", api_url.apply(lambda foo: foo))
        print(config)

    config_map = ConfigMap(
        'nginx-config',
        metadata=ObjectMetaArgs(labels=labels),
        data={'default.conf': config}
        )

That won't work, since that code runs at the time Pulumi is generating the declarative state, but the API_URL value isn't available until after the infrastructure is deployed.

Thanks for the help!

Does the explanation / example make since? Is the difference in how apply() is being used understandable? Happy to answer more questions to clarify, this is a core concept that will make everything easier once you grok it.
