As part of our deployment, some tasks will depend on others part of the deployment. An example of this is NixOS deployments depending on the provisioning of a VM, where we should ensure that:

deployment of the desired configuration would only be triggered after provisioning of a VM finishes;
relevant information dependencies between tasks are properly handled without hard-coding, e.g. passing IP addresses of provisioned VMs to the deployment task, so that it knows which machine should be accessed.
