boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes ←
Whether to wait until the firewall has been successfully configured before determining what to do, and before returning from the module.
The API returns status in progress when the firewall is currently being configured. If this happens, the module will try again until the status changes to active or disabled.
Please note that there is a request limit. If you have to do multiple updates, it can be better to disable waiting, and regularly use community.general.hetzner_firewall_info to query status.
