Create RandomUuid Resource

Resources are created with functions called constructors. To learn more about declaring and configuring resources, see Resources.

Constructor syntax

new RandomUuid(name: string, args?: RandomUuidArgs, opts?: CustomResourceOptions);
@overload
def RandomUuid(resource_name: str,
               args: Optional[RandomUuidArgs] = None,
               opts: Optional[ResourceOptions] = None)

@overload
def RandomUuid(resource_name: str,
               opts: Optional[ResourceOptions] = None,
               keepers: Optional[Mapping[str, str]] = None)
func NewRandomUuid(ctx *Context, name string, args *RandomUuidArgs, opts ...ResourceOption) (*RandomUuid, error)
public RandomUuid(string name, RandomUuidArgs? args = null, CustomResourceOptions? opts = null)
public RandomUuid(String name, RandomUuidArgs args)
public RandomUuid(String name, RandomUuidArgs args, CustomResourceOptions options)
type: random:RandomUuid
properties: # The arguments to resource properties.
options: # Bag of options to control resource's behavior.

Constructor example

The following reference example uses placeholder values for all input properties.

var randomUuidResource = new Random.RandomUuid("randomUuidResource", new()
{
    Keepers = 
    {
        { "string", "string" },
    },
});
Copy
example, err := random.NewRandomUuid(ctx, "randomUuidResource", &random.RandomUuidArgs{
	Keepers: pulumi.StringMap{
		"string": pulumi.String("string"),
	},
})
Copy
var randomUuidResource = new RandomUuid("randomUuidResource", RandomUuidArgs.builder()
    .keepers(Map.of("string", "string"))
    .build());
Copy
random_uuid_resource = random.RandomUuid("randomUuidResource", keepers={
    "string": "string",
})
Copy
const randomUuidResource = new random.RandomUuid("randomUuidResource", {keepers: {
    string: "string",
}});
Copy
type: random:RandomUuid

    keepers:
        string: string

RandomUuid Resource Properties

To learn more about resource properties and how to use them, see Inputs and Outputs in the Architecture and Concepts docs.

Inputs

In Python, inputs that are objects can be passed either as argument classes or as dictionary literals.

The RandomUuid resource accepts the following input properties:

Keepers Dictionary<string, string>
Arbitrary map of values that, when changed, will trigger recreation of resource. See the main provider documentation for more information.
Keepers map[string]string
Arbitrary map of values that, when changed, will trigger recreation of resource. See the main provider documentation for more information.
keepers Map<String,String>
Arbitrary map of values that, when changed, will trigger recreation of resource. See the main provider documentation for more information.
keepers {[key: string]: string}
Arbitrary map of values that, when changed, will trigger recreation of resource. See the main provider documentation for more information.
keepers Mapping[str, str]
Arbitrary map of values that, when changed, will trigger recreation of resource. See the main provider documentation for more information.
keepers Map<String>
Arbitrary map of values that, when changed, will trigger recreation of resource. See the main provider documentation for more information.

Outputs

All input properties are implicitly available as output properties. Additionally, the RandomUuid resource produces the following output properties:

Id string
The provider-assigned unique ID for this managed resource.
Result string
The generated uuid presented in string format.
Id string
The provider-assigned unique ID for this managed resource.
Result string
The generated uuid presented in string format.
id String
The provider-assigned unique ID for this managed resource.
result String
The generated uuid presented in string format.
id string
The provider-assigned unique ID for this managed resource.
result string
The generated uuid presented in string format.
id str
The provider-assigned unique ID for this managed resource.
result str
The generated uuid presented in string format.
id String
The provider-assigned unique ID for this managed resource.
result String
The generated uuid presented in string format.

Look up Existing RandomUuid Resource

Get an existing RandomUuid resource’s state with the given name, ID, and optional extra properties used to qualify the lookup.

Import

Random UUID’s can be imported. This can be used to replace a config

value with a value interpolated from the random provider without

experiencing diffs.
