sort of like

{ providers: { aws: awsProvider, awsNative: awsNativeProvider } }

or is this not supported?

This is supported. I'd recommend passing them in as a list instead of an object, however

right

So that you don't need to worry about provider names; pulumi will handle this for you internally

the reason I ask is that our hostedZone is in another account; we need to pass 2aws classic providers and an aws native provider. In that case within the component selecting the correct provider becomes harder, no?

Ah, then yes using a map here would be best. What you've written looks correct

Thank you Anthony

If you know you'll only be using explicit providers, you should disable the default providers. It helps catch places where selecting a provider falls through

I thought I had, in other projects i have done that and everything worked there. I think there ?may? be some funny business; when passing native & classic aws providers to my custom component it complains;

error: missing required configuration key "aws-native:region":The region where AWS operations will take place. Examples are eu-east-1, eu-west-2, etc.
    	Set a value using the command `pulumi config set aws-native:region <value>`

I think it may be because i'm using special keys, not

aws

and

aws-native

but named providers, names more akin to

account1ClassicProvider

,

account2ClassicProvider

Each actual pulumi resource has it's precise provider specified but the component might be having a hard time trying to match things up, i don't know

With special names, you'll need to pass the provider explicitly to every resource within the component. If you know most resources will be for a specific account/region, set that with the default name

I recon the custom component class itself is causing the pain

Are you doing this to disable the defaults? https://www.pulumi.com/docs/concepts/resources/providers/#disabling-default-providers

yeah

As in an electrician? Circuitry + embedded programming is picking up again. It's nice working on something physical sometimes 😂

i mean like a domestic electrician screwing in light bulbs & crimping red wire to more red wire

You sure? Because you worked all this out on your own while asking the right questions in the area you were unsure about. Simple mistakes happen sometimes 🤷

used to be a welder - was happier but less wealthy

Some of it will go away with time as you learn more. Hope you're still doing welding as a hobby, though!
