Hey, team! I'm trying to achieve the following: • create ec2 instances • essentially have

pulumi up

block till the instance is

running

I have the Pulumi python starter template - is there some docs/examples I can look at to achieve this? Is the appropriate way to keep polling till the system reaches the desired state? potentially relevant reference to what got generated after

pulumi new

# Create and launch an EC2 instance into the public subnet.
server = aws.ec2.Instance("server",
    instance_type=instance_type,
    subnet_id=subnet.id,
    vpc_security_group_ids=[sec_group.id],
    user_data=user_data,
    ami=ami,
    tags={
        "Name": "webserver",
    })

you can poll the instance inside an apply, but pulumi already blocks until the instance is running.

@billowy-army-68599, I actually see this (screenshot), although

pulumi up

has finished executing

Do you want to perform this update? yes

ah, then using an apply is the answer

that would be awesome! thanks so much 🙂

@thousands-balloon-4359 this should do it https://github.com/jaxxstorm/pulumi-examples/blob/main/python/aws/ec2_instance_status/__main__.py

thanks @billowy-army-68599 - you unblocked me
