awsSecret

essentially is the secret you just created; the lookup shouldn’t be necessary. You should be able to reference the secret’s properties (

awsSecret.name

, etc.) as resource “outputs” throughout your program: https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/inputs-outputs/ The extra characters tacked onto the end are the result of “auto-naming”, a feature of Pulumi that’s discussed in more detail here: https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/resources/names/#autonaming

Lookup functions like

getSecret

are useful for fetching resources created by other means — e.g., manually in the AWS console, by some other IaC tool, etc. https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/resources/get/

Note that if you update your secret via other means, then Pulumi won't know about it until you run

pulumi refresh

The values that you see in your program are from the Pulumi state, not from AWS.

pulumi refresh

is needed to get Pulumi to fetch values from AWS.
