Hi Brady, take a look at [apply](<https://www.pulumi.com/docs/concepts/inputs-outputs/#apply>) to create dependencies.

You might also be able to add an explicit dependency with `dependsOn`, more details at <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/concepts/options/dependson/>

unfortunately the vpc in question is not created by pulumi so dependencies can not be used here (`get` function results can not be used as dependencies ) <@UJBNC99MF>

Im not sure how apply can be used to create dependencies here <@U05DSF07M3K>, all values accessible in an apply block would be strings anot not resources

Apologies, I overlooked the fact you’re using a `get` function to look up an existing VPC.
