Sleep Function

The idem time.sleep function pauses idem execution before or after resource state enforcement. Use require to pause before enforcement or require_in to pause after enforcement. Set the duration argument to the desired pause time in seconds.

The following example delays enforcement of the some_machine resource:

sleep_60s:
  time.sleep:
    - duration: 60

some_machine:
  cloud.instance.present:
    - name: my-instance
    - require:
      - time.sleep: sleep_60s

The following example adds a delay after the some_machine resource is enforced:

sleep_60s:
  time.sleep:
    - duration: 60

some_machine:
  cloud.instance.present:
    - name: my-instance
    - require_in:
      - time.sleep: sleep_60s
