we generally don't recommend this approach, can you expand on why you're doing conditional resource creation inside

apply()

Going into a bit more detail, I need to create a DNS record, but it might either be in Azure or in AWS, depending on the result of a set of Outputs.

The

apply()

solution was more of a PoC, I don't think it will work in the long term.

But I just don't see a way of doing these conditional checks without it.

generally we recommend setting a config value for stuff like this

Copy code

if azure {
 // create
}

Unfortunately it's dynamic, so that's not an option.

The solution for this was: group the resources inside a

def

, this way they can reference each other. The

apply()

calls the function with all the necessary arguments. This works for my particular problem and actually makes it a bit more readable as well, since everything inside the function is a string.
