I think you'll need to build retries into your dynamic resource. The provider (AWS or whomever) will assign the publicIp before the instance has actually completed startup, so just because the IP address is known, doesn't mean the instance is ready.

Is there an output variable I can wait on that will only become available once the instance is fully ready?
