say I want to implement a new Azure resource in Pulumi (app gateway), what's the best starting point to learn?  I understand it's based of the Terraform provider but I'm at a loss when I see  something like `super("azure:core/resourceGroup:ResourceGroup", name, inputs, opts);`.
Where does this id key come from?

Hi Yohan, right now all of the SDKs for Azure are generated by a program called `tfgen`, which takes the Terraform provider and applies some mapping rules (defined in `resources.go` in the `pulumi-azure` repository)

Currently there isn’t a way to add a resource which doesn’t exist in the Terraform provider itself

hi <@UB8A66MPS> the resource does exist in the Terraform provider, it just hasn't been surfaced by the Pulumi SDK yet I guess

I thought we were basically up-to-date with the Terraform provider

<https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/azurerm/r/application_gateway.html>

unless I just haven't seen it in the docs :see_no_evil:

<https://pulumi.io/reference/pkg/nodejs/@pulumi/azure/network/#ApplicationGateway>

sorry for the wasted time! :slightly_smiling_face:

FWIW if you want a quick way to find the terraform resource name -&gt; pulumi name, look in this file: <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-azure/blob/master/resources.go#L506>
