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

<@UCWG26BH7>, I actually see this (screenshot), although `pulumi up` has finished executing
```Do you want to perform this update? yes

the "status check" component is something I'm interested in (because the resource isn't super usable till that turns green, although technically speaking, the resource is "running")

that would be awesome! thanks so much :slightly_smiling_face:
