Hello <@U059AAWH4JJ>, the difference between these are subtle:
• `pulumi_aws` is a Pulumi package offering the individual resources which can be set up on AWS. `pulumi_aws.iam` is the IAM module from this same package focussed on IAM resources. Most often these are named "providers".
• Packages like `pulumi_awsx` and `pulumi_aws_iam` offer Pulumi components. Components are compositions of individual resources, but they are distributed similarly to "providers".
More info can be found in the introduction blog article on <https://www.pulumi.com/blog/pulumiup-pulumi-packages-multi-language-components/|Pulumi Packages and multi-language components>.
