every multi language component (and pulumi package for that matter) has 2 parts to it: • A provider binary, which lives in

~/.pulumi/plugins

• a language SDK You need both for things to work. The

pulumi plugin install

command installs the binary. We have something claled "plugin discovery" which means when you do

npm install

or

pip3 install

it will automatically acquire the plugin binary for you. You need to set the following property in the schema: https://github.com/jaxxstorm/pulumi-rke/blob/master/provider/resources.go#L91 however due to limitations with language metadata in packages, plugin acquisition from distinct URLs only works in Node and Python right now. We're working on making it better.

yes very helpful

for standard resources, you need the provider binary for the upstream cloud provider, so for example, if creating an S3 bucket, you need the aws provider binary multi language components are a little different, they look and feel like providers, so they have a binary too

haha ok - so basically the TLDR is make sure the resource plugin is installed and then also install the library ?

yep 🙂

awesome thank you
