Ex. Azuread.getServicePrincipal({objectId: appService.principalId}) the first run through will fail but will successfully resolve correctly second run through

You should try running `getServicePrincipal` inside an `apply` on the output of the resource that you create. Something like <https://github.com/pulumi/templates/blob/master/azure-typescript/index.ts#L19>

When we tried that we got an error that the service principal didn’t yet exist in azure ad. I’ve seen examples of people in terraform doing a timeout or sleep to wait to make the getServicePrincipal call

Ah, that could be. You could do retries with sleeps, too. Not pretty but should work.

Yeah that’s what I was thinking as well. Thanks!

The closest example I can think of: <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-azure/blob/master/sdk/nodejs/eventgrid/zMixins.ts#L134>

Awesome, thanks for the reference. That’s very helpful.
