ok, one thing that's never clear: What's the best way to get the current AWS region inside of a `ComponentResource`?

It's unfortunately not super simple if you want to handle both first-class providers and default providers.

But there is some boilerplate that does work - let me find it.

We do hope to generalize the helpers in `aws.config.region` to be able to look up the region associated with a given provider or resource to automate the process better (those helpers were designed before we had first-class providers).

See <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-awsx/blob/0d5a4ca7d77f68ad3e3f79876a2407b58326d987/nodejs/awsx/utils.ts#L122-L127>

what sort of `Resource` defines `getProvider`?

ok, looks like its defined on the top-level `Resource`
