I'm not sure if that works but just found the environment variable AWS_DEFAULT_REGION in terraform documentation: https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest/docs#environment-variables

Hi @proud-pizza-80589 Add this to the top of your code to replace the provider that you created:

let aws = require("@pulumi/aws");
// Create an AWS provider for the us-east-2 region.
let useast2 = new aws.Provider("useast2", { region: "us-east-2" });

Then where you have this:

{ provider: this.provider }

you can do this:

{ providers: {aws: useast2} }

replace useast2 with eu-west-1 https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/programming-model/#explicit-provider-configuration Can you try that and let us know?

const regionProvider = new aws.Provider(location, {
      region: location,
    });

    const vpc = new awsx.ec2.Vpc(
      name,
      {
        cidrBlock: '172.16.0.0/16',
        tags: { Name: name },
      },
      { provider: { aws: regionProvider } }
    );

error:

Type '{ aws: aws.Provider; }' is not assignable to type 'ProviderResource'.
  Object literal may only specify known properties, and 'aws' does not exist in type 'ProviderResource'.

Can you try this testing the following? Change

region: location

in the const regionProvider section to:

region: "eu-west-1"

or update the variable for location to: const location = "eu-west-1"

that is not the issue, the issue is that { provider: { aws: regionProvider } } is invalid. provider needs to be a ProviderResource and a ProviderResource does not have a ‘aws’ key

@proud-pizza-80589 Awesome you got it working, i created this gist just in case you wanted to see what I had, since I have a StackReference for a vpc. This is rough code: https://gist.github.com/tusharshahrs/c9a6b58f1af47d2a5c7b9b4575cb4d1f

yeah, that dod not compile for me, maybe i have different versions of the pulumi libs
