Using getFolder

Two invocation forms are available. The direct form accepts plain arguments and either blocks until the result value is available, or returns a Promise-wrapped result. The output form accepts Input-wrapped arguments and returns an Output-wrapped result.

function getFolder(args: GetFolderArgs, opts?: InvokeOptions): Promise<GetFolderResult>
function getFolderOutput(args: GetFolderOutputArgs, opts?: InvokeOptions): Output<GetFolderResult>

def get_folder(path: Optional[str] = None,
               opts: Optional[InvokeOptions] = None) -> GetFolderResult
def get_folder_output(path: Optional[pulumi.Input[str]] = None,
               opts: Optional[InvokeOptions] = None) -> Output[GetFolderResult]

func LookupFolder(ctx *Context, args *LookupFolderArgs, opts ...InvokeOption) (*LookupFolderResult, error)
func LookupFolderOutput(ctx *Context, args *LookupFolderOutputArgs, opts ...InvokeOption) LookupFolderResultOutput

> Note: This function is named LookupFolder in the Go SDK.

    # arguments dictionary

The following arguments are supported:

Path string

The absolute path of the folder. For example, given a default datacenter of default-dc, a folder of type vm, and a folder name of example-vm-folder, the resulting path would be /default-dc/vm/example-vm-folder.

For nested datacenters, include the full hierarchy in the path. For example, if datacenter default-dc is inside folder parent-folder, the path to a VM folder would be /parent-folder/default-dc/vm/example-vm-folder.
