Hi all, I'm using Pulumi via JavaScript with AWS and seeing some strange behavior with the `getAmi` function. (I freely admit this could be due to my lack of experience with JavaScript.) Here's the code in question:
```
const bionicAmi  = aws.getAmi({
    filter: [
        { name: "name", values: "ubuntu/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-bionic-18.04-amd64-server*" },
        { name: "virtualization-type", values: "hvm" },
        { name: "root-device-type", values: "ebs" },
    ],
    mostRecent: true,
    owners: [ "099720109477" ],
});
```
Using this set of filters with the AWS CLI works perfectly, but here it returns a completely different AMI. What am I missing?

Hmmm...for a newbie (to JS/TS) such as myself, that could prove quite useful.

you bet!  trust me, you'll get hooked, and i'm not just saying that because <@UB3BGTV63> has literally given me hours of my life back, ever since he started Strada (initial name for TypeScript)
