<@U028KAXHK6Z> how are you defining “healthy” ?

Hi <@UCWG26BH7> I defined healthy when the status checks have passed.

so I can’t see where in the API those status checks get returned, which makes them hard to do anything with

On GitHub there is a repo about something similar. I need to find it again. But the main idea would be using boto to do this check. <@U028KAXHK6Z>

Look at boto3: ec2.meta.client.describe_instance_status

you can do it with a loadbalancer inside an `apply`
<https://github.com/jaxxstorm/pulumi-examples/blob/main/python/aws/wait-for-loadbalancer/__main__.py>

<@UCWG26BH7> It was in your repo I got my first idea to handle this. Thank you! I didn't remember it was yours :sweat_smile:

the reason I’m apprehensive is because i’m not sure where in the ec2 api the status checks are

if you can find them, you can do the same

<@UCWG26BH7> ec2.meta.client.describe_instance_status

Yes, thats the method that the aws cli has to retrive the status checks
