The short answer is no, but you can definitely obtain and use that value — you’ll just need to work with it as an output. Are you conditionally provisioning resources based that value?

If you are conditionally provisioning resources, worth voting on <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/4834>

What is the best way to check if the output is equal to a specific value?

`some_output.apply(lambda x: x == "specific value")` but it will be an Output&lt;bool&gt;, as Christian said above you've got to work with it as an output.

How can this in turn be evaluated? I.e. whether this is True or False

Currently you have to write the rest of the program inside the apply. That allows you to see the value of the bool, but it does mean that preview generally won't see the resources created. The issue I linked above is tracking to improve this.
