The <https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/aws/api-docs/cognito/userpoolclient/#|docs> mention a terraform resource `aws_cognito_managed_user_pool_client`  that does not seem to be either in the AWS provider or aws-native.   My pulumi program is creating a managed opensearch domain w/ cognito authentication.  I need to "adopt" the Cognito client definition created by opensearch and modify it to put in additional redirect / logout URLs.  If this resource existed, I could probably do it?  How do I either add the resource or work around it?

Hi Duane, the `UserPoolClient` is available as stated by our docs; see <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws/blob/master/sdk/go/aws/cognito/userPoolClient.go#L296|here in the Go SDK>.

Hi Thomas.  Agreed, but it's not exactly what I need?   Pulumi's provider docs mention a *terraform* resource type where they say (presumably copied from the terraform):

&gt; To manage a User Pool Client created by another service, such as when <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/opensearch-service/latest/developerguide/cognito-auth.html|configuring an OpenSearch Domain to use Cognito authentication>, use the `aws_cognito_managed_user_pool_client` resource instead.

This is my exact situation.  Opensearch creates a Cognito user pool on my behalf, and I need to include it in my IAC so that I may make further changes to it.  Importing it into state would work, but that's a messy hack.

I don't see a `ManagedUserPoolClient` is what I am saying

Hi Duane, really sorry for the delay here. I filed an issue for this: <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws/issues/2566>

oh hi!  Awesome.  I didn't know if I was doing something wrong or not

I'm super comfortable w/ terraform but still learning pulumi

( Plus I asked just a couple days before Pulumi Up, so I bet y'all were *super* busy)

NP! Be sure to keep asking questions.

Unfortunately, our native AWS provider is still a bit limited due to Amazon’s slow expansion of cloud formation. (It’s auto-generated from their specs.)

yeah, I saw that.  Amazon doing everyone a favor by giving you a really standardized generateable API, but it's probably not the first class API for each service
