Is there a way to get a region abbreviation? I'm looking for the schema 2: us-east-1 => use1

i don't believe there's a native way, some resources return these as part of the API. your best bet is to create some constant mappings I think. if you think this would be useful, we could add it as an overlay - please feel free to file an issue on the pulumi-aws provider

will do. Thanks!
