if you've specified a different 'provider' you may need to supply that provider as the configuration in the last parameter of the `get_` method. In python that might look like: `get_security_group(id=&lt;some_sg_id&gt;, opts=pulumi.InvokeOptions(provider=my_custom_provider))`

Figured it out.  What was happening was that in my `~/.aws/config` file, my region was set to `us-west-2`.  In the auto-generated pulumi config, though, the region was set to `us-east-1`.  For some reason pulumi was respecting the region from the `~/.aws/config` file when creating resources, but was using the region from the pulumi config when querying resources.
