Updating (dev):
Type Name Status

+ └─ gcp:storage:Bucket my-bucket created (1s)
Outputs:

Resources:

Duration: 4s
Updates can take some time since they wait for the cloud resources to finish being created. Storage buckets are quick, however, so the update will finish in just a few seconds.
-daa12be) are the result of auto-naming,
a feature that lets you use the same resource names across multiple stacks without naming collisions. You can
disable or fine-tune this. To learn how, read more about
auto-naming.Using stack outputs
The bucket name is available as a stack output. To view it:
$ pulumi stack output bucketName
$ pulumi stack output bucket_name
$ pulumi stack output bucketName
$ pulumi stack output bucketName
$ pulumi stack output bucketName
$ pulumi stack output bucketName
Running that command will print out the name of your bucket.
View your update on Pulumi Cloud
If you are logged into Pulumi Cloud, you’ll see “View Live” hyperlinks in the CLI output during your update. These go to a page with detailed information about your stack including resources, configuration, a full history of updates, and more. Navigate to it to review the details of your update:

Now that the storage bucket has been provisioned, you’ll update it to host a static website.
