<https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/nodejs/pulumi/pulumi/#secret> &lt;- lets you make any output a secret output

For example:
```certState.getOutput("certificate_p12") as pulumi.Output&lt;Secret&gt;```
That does not work... Type 'Output&lt;Secret&gt;' is not assignable to type 'Input&lt;string&gt;'.

`pulumi.secret(certState.getOutput("certificate_p12"))`

Wow... I feel like a noob! Thank you so much!!

<@U02J3T6A8LB> The first block of code for terraform.state.RemoteStateReference was still producing plaintext output, even after we resolved it for the second block with your recommendation. I found that adding
```additionalSecretOutputs: ["outputs"]```
to the first block resolved it there too.
