11/04/2021, 10:33 PMWhat is a fully qualified type token? I see this term mentioned here a few times https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/nodejs/pulumi/pulumi/#ComponentResource-constructor

11/04/2021, 10:36 PMIt's a string that's used to group resources of the same type. Afaik the only place it's used is to compose Pulumi URNs.
See this page: it's called "resource-type" in the first example of a URN.

It allows you have (for example) a bucket and a bucket policy with the same name.
You'd end up with two URNs which are very similar, but one would have "aws:s3/bucket" and one would have "aws:iam/policy" or similar
