you will need resource options.
if Azure deletes the nic when you delete the VM, then you can just use `deletedWith` . This will not call explicit deletion on the NIC, just assumes it is deleted when you delete the VM. But I';m not sure how Azure currently handles associated resources.

Or you can try putting in Dependencies (which honestly already should be there since you use the NIC in the VM, but not sure what happens).
