So, when I try to use a call to

get_vpc

that doesn't match an existing resource, it throws an exception which still causes execution to fail even if I catch it. What's the option for handling that situation?

Hopefully somebody from the Pulumi team can chime in here with a better way - but I've only been able to solve the issue by using boto3/similar third party library when I want to use the functionality of `get_vpc`/similar to check if a resource already exists.

That's a fair option and one I was suspecting would be the eventual path. Thanks for your input 🙂
