is there a way to enforce order in pulumi execution ? like I want to provision a set of base resources before provisioning databases and want to enforce an order instead of asynchronous execution , is there a way for that ?

two ways:
• pass an out from resource A to resource B will ensure resource A is created before resource B
• use dependson: <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/resources/options/dependson/>

Thank you for the above link. I am trying to create a secret and then retrieve it in a pulumi script but am repeatedly getting an error for get_secret as it doesnt seem to have the
```ResourceOptions(depends_on) ```
option

you are creating a secret? and then using `get_secret` as well? why?

I want to create a secrets object and store a password so I can use that in the create database password parameter

so you’ve defined `secret_obj`. it exists in the resource graph. you don’t need to retrieve the value at all, you already have it

you can just pass the value to your RDS database now
