I have `let size = "t2.micro"` and then calling that later as `instanceType: size`

error I get is `Type 'string' is not assignable to type 'Input&lt;InstanceType&gt;'.ts(2322)`

but only when I use that import command instead of the require

Yes - when you use `import` you get strong typing, when you use `require` you don’t get any type checking. 

In this case you can appease TypeScript by saying `let size: aws.ec2.InstanceType = “t2.micro”`. 

aah, thank you. clearly I am new to both typescript &amp; pulumi
