-We recommend adding the `depends_on` argument if your nested data source depends on another resource without referencing that resource directly.
-
-For example, if you define a `check` that verifies that a website API returns `200`, that check fails the first time Terraform runs your configuration because your website's infrastructure does not exist yet. You can set the `depends_on` argument to a resource, such as the load balancer, to ensure Terraform only runs the `check` once the website is up. When running an operation, Terraform evaluates the `check`, warns `known after apply` until that crucial piece of your website is ready, and continues the operation.
-
-However, this strategy only works when the `data` block does not directly reference the resource specified in the `depends_on` argument. Otherwise, anytime that resource changes, the `check` block warns `known after apply` until Terraform updates that resource, making your check potentially noisy and ineffective. Refer to the [example](#resource-dependency) for more details.
