Use

<aws.ec2.InstanceType> stringVariable

. E.g.

<aws.ec2.InstanceType> config.get("instanceType")

(copied from https://github.com/pulumi/examples/blob/master/aws-ts-ruby-on-rails/config.ts#L41)

this will allow the aws.ec2.InstanceType or a string representation of it

To be fair, this only tripped me up because I'm new to Typescript. I prefer types be strong-typed if possible. Had I known how to cast I would have just done so.

@wide-holiday-59376 Nice to hear. I’m also in to have more types in Pulumi than less. Maybe you want to follow the PR, as well? Just added my 2 cents there.
