Working with Google Artifact Registry, I am having trouble finding an example of initializing a google_beta provider in Python. All the examples I find reference a `google_beta` variable, but I can’t find an instantiation of it.

Could it be just pulumi_gcp.provider.Provider(…)?

I figured it out.. .google_beta = gcp.provider.Provider(resource_name=“google-beta”, project=“…”)

but my real problem was that `*ERROR:* (gcloud.artifacts.repositories.create) Names may only contain lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens, and must begin with a letter and end with a letter or number.` was only presented with `400 Invalid argument` so I wasted plenty of time on that

Hi Amir, sorry for the trouble you had figuring out the root cause of your error. We have a github issue at <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-gcp/issues/338> to make more of the error message available. Would you mind adding your use case (artifact repository) to that issue too?
