If I just want to group a bunch of related resources together within a stack, so they show up thusly in the resource hierarchy, is it best practice to form them into a component?  Or is there a simpler way of doing that?

ComponentResource is the way to do that. It's pretty easy, you can configure a minimal one in just 5 or 6 lines.

The Pulumi / JFrog webinar earlier shows a really simple one.

Is there a recording, or artifacts available from that webinar?

perfect will check that out :slightly_smiling_face:

Just found that trying to re-parent a bucket policy/access block onto the associated bucket really doesn’t go well with the default concurrency; tries to re-create the policy while deleting the old one or something

<@U012H5R25PX> you can use aliases to reparent things wiht out destorying them

ah nice tip thanks - i’m playing around in a lab account atm so it’s interesting to see what works and what doesn’t while setting up/tearing down is cheap

been a very educational day or so :slightly_smiling_face:

created myself a `ResourceGroup` component i can just use for ad-hoc bundling of resources; very simple as you say

<@U013Q0AKUCW> Looks like it hasn't been published yet, but it was only 4 hours ago so it's probably coming soon.

Here's the registration link, maybe this will turn into a download page when it's available? <https://www.pulumi.com/webinars/sharing-and-reusing-infrastructure/>

don’t see a way to get the current stack resource in Go.. that blog post showed the typescript version with
```pulumi.rootStackResource```
but not finding the Go equivalent.. `ctx.Stack()` returns a string name rather than a resource with the stack itself being an unpublished property

which is odd as the docs for Alias actual refer to `context.GetStack()` which isn’t a thing that exists <https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/go/pulumi?tab=doc#Alias>

and specifying an explicit `ParentURN` to the alias with the stack’s URN still seems to want the resource to be deleted and recreated
