Is there a way when creating a service to tell it to not wait for any pods to be ready? Specifically, we create our services prior to creating the Deployments/DaemonSets, as we depend on the service environment variable injection to happen into the later-created pods. With Pulumi, I’ve expressed the dependency (i.e. the Deployment has a DependsOn the Service objects), but the Service itself never becomes ready as it is in stuck in the “Finding Pods to direct traffic to” stage (1/3). I’d like to tell it to not do that.

you can set the skip await annotation: https://www.pulumi.com/blog/improving-kubernetes-management-with-pulumis-await-logic/

well I'm glad you posted this, I learned something today 🙂

We are also working on a more global setting to skip the await logic: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-kubernetes/issues/1421

Thanks @sparse-park-68967 and @billowy-army-68599, that did seem to work as I wanted it to. It would be nice if this was also a resource option and not just an annotation on the Kubernetes object itself.
