If I use package 'pulumi_eks' to create a cluster and disable the default providers (`disable-default-providers: *`), it seems there's no way to config the aws provider for _pulumi_eks_. The old-school way (`opts=pulumi.ResourceOptions(provider=provider`) does not work as the provider in opts here refers to the K8S provider. So I will got this error:
```Exception: Default provider for 'eks' disabled. 'eks:index:Cluster' must use an explicit provider.```
Any help is appreciated for this matter!!

Hi. You will need to pass `opts=pulumi.ResourceOptions(provider=eksProvider, providers=[awsProvider, k8sProvider])`.

`provider` is used to provision the resource that `opts` is being directly passed to, while `providers` is used to provision matching child resources.

Hi <@U02GSM8UU1H>, thanks for the reply. what is eksProvider, is that the same as the awsProvider?
Plus, I tried with `providers` only, but still get this error message:

Sorry for the confusion. `eksProvider` is the provider associated with `pulumi_eks`: <https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/eks/api-docs/provider/>

Each Pulumi Package has their own provider, even if they just serve component resources.

Hi <@U02GSM8UU1H>, now I got some progress, but still problematic. Following is how I use eks.Provider and eks.Cluster:
```kube_provider = kube.Provider("kubeProvider", kubeconfig="./kubeconfig")
eks_provider = eks.Provider("eks")

...

test_cluster = eks.Cluster(
        name=f"test_{cluster_name}",
        resource_name="test-cluster-resource",
        ...
        vpc_id=default_vpc.id,
        opts = pulumi.ResourceOptions(provider=eks_provider, providers=[aws_provider, kube_provider]),
)```

Now I got provider issues from other functions:
```Exception: Invoke: Default provider for 'aws' disabled. 'aws:index/getPartition:getPartition' must use an explicit provider.```

If that is coming from `test_cluster`, then that is a bug in `pulumi-eks`. Sorry about that.
