Readiness check on Service.get()

[Sodki]

Problem description

I'm trying to get information on a (pre-installed) Kubernetes service, but Pulumi complains if there are any problems with the pods. In this particular case I'm expecting those pods to be down, but I need to get information from the service so I can perform a deployment and fix them. I'm using Python:

kubernetes.core.v1.Service.get("service",
    "kube-system/kube-dns",
    opts=pulumi.ResourceOptions(provider=kubernetes_provider))

At this point Pulumi gives the following error:

  kubernetes:core:Service (service):
    error: Preview failed: 2 errors occurred:
        * Resource 'kube-dns' was created but failed to initialize
        * Service does not target any Pods. Selected Pods may not be ready, or field '.spec.selector' may not match labels on any Pods

Affected product version(s)

Pulumi v2.8.2
Pulumi-kubernetes v2.4.2

Suggestions for a fix

When I got support in Slack I was asked to submit a bug report, since a .get() was not expected to run a readiness check.
