Hi, is it possible to observe the status of a resource (in particular whether the resource creation is complete) using the #automation-api? The problem I am trying to solve is waiting for an Azure resource to be asynchronously provisioned before starting to create another resource that depends on it.

@flaky-school-82490 you don't need automation api for this. Are you using depends on? Pulumi should handle this automatically

Thanks for the quick reply @billowy-army-68599 . I have not tried DependsOn. Does it handle cases where resources are created asynchronously and may take a little while?

Yes

Awesome thanks!

Thanks. From "When the operation to create this bucket is complete, the engine records information about the newly created resource in its state file.", my question is: How does Pulumi know the bucket creation is complete? https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/how-pulumi-works/#:~:text=When%20the%20operation%20to%20create%20this%20bucket%20is%20complete%2C%20the%20engine%20records%20information%20about%20the%20newly%20created%20resource%20in%20its%20state%20file.

The cloud provider outputs are resolved. It pools the api waiting for the properties to appear

Got it, thanks again @billowy-army-68599!
