What's the best practice for working with

ComponentResourceOptions.providers

? I see pulumi has an internal function

convertToProvidersMap

to convert from

Record<string, ProviderResource> | ProviderResource[]

to map, but it's not exported. I need to pass the provider to a kubernetes resource inside a component.

Resources inherit provider defaults from their parents. So if you set

parent: this

on the kubernetes resource inside the component, it will inherit the corresponding

provider

set on its parent component. Note that since components can have multiple relevant providers (because they may create resources of several types), they are provided as

providers: { “kubernetes”: kubeProvider }

. Ideally - the documentation here would address this: https://pulumi.io/reference/programming-model/#providers. If there is anything critical you don’t see there - let us know.

That answered it! Thanks, I missed that section when reading it.
