Hey, I am trying to create an EKS cluster using <https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/pulumi/pulumi-eks/sdk/v2> and explicit providers (default providers disabled). I am getting an error saying that the `eksClusterSecurityGroup` can not be created because `Default provider for 'aws' disabled. ... must use an explicit provider`. I am passing down the `aws` provider to the `eks.NewCluster` method via a parent. I am also passing down an explicit `eks` provider (don't really understand the point of this since it takes no arguments) to the same method.

Curiously, creating a new aws provider and passing it to `eks.NewCluster` fixed the issue. Shouldn't providers be passed amongst the parent?

They probably should be but the inheritance logic here was historically patchy and changing it now is a break change as it could cause resource replacements. Something we keep looking at, but not clear what the path forward is yet.

For anyone coming back to this later, I eventually fixed the issue by manually pulling the provider from the parent:

```awsProvider := parent.GetProvider("aws::")```
and passing that provider to the `eks.NewCluser`method.
