```providers = {}
for region in itplat_allregions_list:
    providers[region] = aws.Provider(region, region=region)```

just providing providers named by region we can iterate over as required

we use providers this way as we have resources duplicated in various groupings of regions

so we can as a pseudocode example
`for region in list: create bucket s3:myregional_bucket_&lt;region&gt; provider=&lt;region&gt;`

Check your library dependencies? `npm check-updates -u` or equivalent?

pip list shows
```pulumi            3.3.1
pulumi-aws        4.6.0
pulumi-eks        0.30.0
pulumi-kubernetes 3.1.0````


so the bit that has me confused is… i have read in the past that pulumi up will install all the latest plugins

so when i run pulumi up i would think it shoudl update pulumi-aws in my venv

but i just upgraded manually pulumi-aws in my venv and yeah it is no longer trying to downgrade… thanks <@U012UJTT55M>

The plugins and the libraries often share numbers, but they're not the same.

You need to upgrade the language clients (libraries). Generally, Pulumi looks after the provider binaries (plugins).
