<@U04QAGZG7L2> the format for `.get` is `&lt;namespace&gt;/&lt;service-name&gt;`

Do you mean I should try:

```argocd_service = k8s.core.v1.Service.get(namespace.metadata.name, "argocd-server")```
This produces an error about expecting a name.

I also tried:

```argocd_service = k8s.core.v1.Service.get(pulumi.Output.concat(namespace.metadata.name, "/argocd-server"))```
But this fails with a typerror as `.get` requires at least 2 args - `resource_name` and `id`: <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-kubernetes/blob/3157468a01a22603ae0a2e618851929770c1b762/sdk/python/pulumi_kubernetes/core/v1/Service.py#L285-L286>

```argocd_service = k8s.core.v1.Service.get("argo-service", pulumi.Output.concat(namespace.metadata.name, "/argocd-server"))```

the first argument is the name you want to pass to your resource

Ahah! A new error, but an expected one. Thanks!

Just to check something - this doesn’t create a _new_ Service resource, right?  The ConfigGroup created this Service resource first and I’m just trying to extract info from it, not build a new one. I guess all resources _must_ have a name even if those names don’t end up resulting in any diff output?

correct, it retrieves an existing resource

Worked. Thanks again! That’s twice you’ve helped me… is there anything I can do to help you? :slightly_smiling_face:

spread the Pulumi word far and wide :smile:

I’m building this as a POC for a devops org I’m about to start working at in two weeks, so maybe I can convince them :slightly_smiling_face: fairly large org, so it would be a big shift, but I like to bring a pitch with me.

feel free to DM me, I can send out some swag
