    IResource,
    IResourceWithConnectionString,
    IResourceWithEndpoints,
    IResourceWithParameters,
    IValueProvider,
    IValueWithReferences {
  readonly clusterUri: BicepOutputReference;
  readonly connectionStringExpression: ReferenceExpression;
  readonly isEmulator: boolean;
  readonly nameOutputReference: BicepOutputReference;
  readonly uriExpression: ReferenceExpression;
  addReadWriteDatabase(
      name: string,
      databaseName?: string): AzureKustoReadWriteDatabaseResource;
  runAsEmulator(configureContainer?: (obj: AzureKustoEmulatorResource) => Promise<void>): AzureKustoClusterResource;
}
```

## Properties

- `clusterUri`: `BicepOutputReference` `get` -- Gets the cluster URI output reference for the Azure Kusto cluster.
- `connectionStringExpression`: `ReferenceExpression` `get` -- Gets the ConnectionStringExpression property
- `isEmulator`: `boolean` `get` -- Gets whether the resource is running the local emulator.
- `nameOutputReference`: `BicepOutputReference` `get` -- Gets the "name" output reference for the resource.
