To generalize, I guess what I’m looking for is a way to treat

Output

like

Promise

and

await

to get values.

I had a similar issue and asked this question https://pulumi-community.slack.com/archives/C019YSXN04B/p1674121180254749. In general Pulumi encourages not to create resources in apply if possible because it may cause issues on diffs. However as can be seen from the example that I link to in the comment to my post they do so themselves when necessary, because sometimes, especially in networking resources depend on each other, so doing it in the apply is necessary. Hope this helps.
