this should work okay, what do you want the end result to be?

also - you might want to make this a component!

03/10/2023, 9:05 PMthis should work okay, what do you want the end result to be?Thank you for taking the time to respond! The above codeblock works just fine, the problem is I now need to create A records in this zone, and that involves referencing the zone I've just created. I could just type the name of the zone as a string, but then the dependency chain would be broken.

Ah, i see, do you want to add different records to each zone, so you want to have them stored that way?

03/10/2023, 9:09 PMI added a bit to the bottom of the script I posted earlier to hopefully give more insight into the problem I'm running into... I probably should have included that portion in the first place

I do want to add a variety of DNS records to each zone. Should I just manually declare the dependency? It seems like the wrong thing to do since I do need the output from the zone declaration, so I might as well be looking for ways to capture the output from the

this should work fine
Copy code
zones.forEach((zone) => {
// somehow declare const here to work with the output zone name and establish deps?
const myZone = new gcp.dns.ManagedZone(zone.name, zone.args, zone.opts);
new gcp.dns.RecordSet("foo", {
name: "<http://foo.nuggies.life|foo.nuggies.life>"
managedZone: myZone.id
type: "A",
ttl: 300,
rrdatas: ["8.8.8.8"],
});

if you want to store the zone id for each created zone you should just be able to do an

03/10/2023, 9:14 PMoh I see you have the DNS record created inside the foreach loop.
broad-parrot-2692
03/10/2023, 9:14 PMBecause the relationship of zones to DNS records is not 1:1, I don't think that would work for my use-case...

it would get overridden on each loop, but you’re creating the record inside the loop too. If you want to create records outside the loop, you can just append the id to a new data structure and loop over that

example! https://github.com/jaxxstorm/pulumi-examples/blob/main/typescript/aws/multiple_buckets/index.ts
Couple of different ways to approach it, but ultimately you’re just storing data for later use
