getting an image from the container registry is actually a huge pain

Hey, sorry for the trouble you're having...

I think one thing to try is to create an explicit docker provider (e.g. `pulumi.docker.Provider()` with `registryAuth`) and pass that to your `new docker.RemoteImage(...,{},{provider: gcrDockerProvider})`.

`registryAuth` filled out like in your Terraform link should provide the necessary authentication for the Docker provider/daemon to connect to GCR correctly.

index.ts

Here's an example. I can successfully `pulumi up` this, but not sure if this is the full use case you're trying.

i think this is right, thanks for the help

<@UDEJ1F5SQ> this seems like it should work, but its unclear how to get this to work with `docker.getRegistryImage`

The second argument `InvokeOptions` takes a `provider`. 

looks like we're getting somewhere
```Synchronous call made to "docker:index/getRegistryImage:getRegistryImage" with an unregistered provider. This is now deprecated and may cause the program to hang.
