right but is there an option to have pulumi not wait for the full cf distribution to complete before returning, with the tradeoff being that the caller then has to be aware that the full CF deployment can take longer.

on the aws console i can see that the cf dist is created very quickly it's just in that deploying state for the subsequent 10+ minutes

<@U02KC001D40>, check this property <https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/aws/api-docs/cloudfront/distribution/#waitfordeployment_nodejs|waitForDeployment: false>:

&gt; If enabled, the resource will wait for the distribution status to change from `InProgress` to `Deployed`. Setting this to`false` will skip the process. Default: `true`.
