RandomShuffle

The resource random.RandomShuffle generates a random permutation of a list of strings given as an argument.

Example Usage

using Pulumi;
using Aws = Pulumi.Aws;
using Random = Pulumi.Random;

class MyStack : Stack
{
    public MyStack()
    {
        var az = new Random.RandomShuffle("az", new Random.RandomShuffleArgs

            },
            ResultCount = 2,
        });
        var example = new Aws.Elb.LoadBalancer("example", new Aws.Elb.LoadBalancerArgs

RandomShuffle Resource Properties

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

Inputs

The RandomShuffle resource accepts the following input properties:

Inputs List<string>

The list of strings to shuffle.

Keepers Dictionary<string, object>

Arbitrary map of values that, when changed, will trigger a new id to be generated.

ResultCount int

The number of results to return. Defaults to the number of items in the input list. If fewer items are requested, some elements will be excluded from the result. If more items are requested, items will be repeated in the result but not more frequently than the number of items in the input list.

Seed string

Arbitrary string with which to seed the random number generator, in order to produce less-volatile permutations of the list. Important: Even with an identical seed, it is not guaranteed that the same permutation will be produced across different versions of the provider. This argument causes the result to be less volatile, but not fixed for all time.

Inputs []string

The list of strings to shuffle.

Keepers map[string]interface{}

Arbitrary map of values that, when changed, will trigger a new id to be generated.

ResultCount int

The number of results to return. Defaults to the number of items in the input list. If fewer items are requested, some elements will be excluded from the result. If more items are requested, items will be repeated in the result but not more frequently than the number of items in the input list.

Seed string

Arbitrary string with which to seed the random number generator, in order to produce less-volatile permutations of the list. Important: Even with an identical seed, it is not guaranteed that the same permutation will be produced across different versions of the provider. This argument causes the result to be less volatile, but not fixed for all time.

inputs string[]

The list of strings to shuffle.

keepers {[key: string]: any}

Arbitrary map of values that, when changed, will trigger a new id to be generated.

resultCount number

The number of results to return. Defaults to the number of items in the input list. If fewer items are requested, some elements will be excluded from the result. If more items are requested, items will be repeated in the result but not more frequently than the number of items in the input list.

seed string

Arbitrary string with which to seed the random number generator, in order to produce less-volatile permutations of the list. Important: Even with an identical seed, it is not guaranteed that the same permutation will be produced across different versions of the provider. This argument causes the result to be less volatile, but not fixed for all time.

inputs List[str]

The list of strings to shuffle.

keepers Dict[str, Any]

Arbitrary map of values that, when changed, will trigger a new id to be generated.

result_count float

The number of results to return. Defaults to the number of items in the input list. If fewer items are requested, some elements will be excluded from the result. If more items are requested, items will be repeated in the result but not more frequently than the number of items in the input list.

seed str

Arbitrary string with which to seed the random number generator, in order to produce less-volatile permutations of the list. Important: Even with an identical seed, it is not guaranteed that the same permutation will be produced across different versions of the provider. This argument causes the result to be less volatile, but not fixed for all time.

Outputs

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

Id string
The provider-assigned unique ID for this managed resource.
Results List<string>

Random permutation of the list of strings given in input.

Id string
The provider-assigned unique ID for this managed resource.
Results []string

Random permutation of the list of strings given in input.

id string
The provider-assigned unique ID for this managed resource.
results string[]

Random permutation of the list of strings given in input.

id str
The provider-assigned unique ID for this managed resource.
results List[str]

Random permutation of the list of strings given in input.
