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?

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

Good catch!
