Little confused about how resources are tracked - if I create a LoadBalancer instance (`new aws.elasticloadbalancingv2.LoadBalancer(...)`) will it be recognized as a resource to be tracked? If not, how do I transform it such that it will be tracked?

Hi <@UDLHQLKB4>! The constructor registers the resource with the runtime, which is how they are then tracked

<https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws/blob/master/sdk/nodejs/elasticloadbalancingv2/loadBalancer.ts#L160> calls <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/blob/master/sdk/nodejs/resource.ts#L217> which calls <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/blob/master/sdk/nodejs/resource.ts#L77> if you want to understand it in more depth!
