You can use `dependsOn` to specify that you want to wait for a resource to be done before starting the dependent resource. I don't know how accurate the checking of a state is with that, and I suspect that it's going to be whatever Alicloud reports back to the provider but that might get you started. <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/programming-model/#dependson>

We do as much as we can asynchronously, but that causes some things to be created/updated synchronously

Ah! I totaly forgot about dependsOn :slightly_smiling_face:

Caveat: Alicloud might report back to Pulumi that the resource is ready, although it might not be in the state that you want.

AWS does exactly that with EKS load balancers -- it reports resource creation as complete before the LB is in a ready state. It's a pain to deal with :face_with_rolling_eyes:
