Resources inherit their default provider from their parent, unless explicitly provided at contribution time. This means that component authors generally don’t need to change anything to support first class providers - just continue to pass

parent:  this

to their children.

There is now a "Providers" section in the programming model reference: https://pulumi.io/reference/programming-model.html#providers

Huh I had managed to go a few months without reading that document at any point. Thanks @microscopic-florist-22719
