Hi <@U01JCEY3GM9> 

No Pulumi has no custom way to handle this at this time

can you create an AMI or have ansible run from user data?

<@UHTP242EB> can we convert ec2.ID() i.e pulimi.IDOutput to string and *string?

You could go to the AWS SDK in your pulumi code and run a loop waiting for the state of the machine to change to running before hitting ansible.

Yup but I want to avoid using vanilla sdk if I am using pulumi. 

To me, this is WHY I use pulumi.  The ability to piggy back on the authentication, and seamlessly integrate is awesome.  No shelling out, custom provisioners... Just code.
