Hi <@U01ES2JQ5UM>, I just came across some not-quite-idiomatic code in the get-started docs. Wondering if an issue or a PR is preferred?

It's about the use of `import * as fs from "fs";` and `fs.readFileSync()` to create BucketObjects.

I'm guessing that tutorial-type docs should prefer `source: new pulumi.asset.FileAsset()`

Ah never mind.. <https://github.com/pulumi/docs/issues/4903>

It applies to the GCP example too, though the Azure one is good.

<@U012UJTT55M> Yup, it’s on my plate to switch the other tutorials over to `FileAsset` .

And as far as issues or PRs, do whatever feels comfortable. The only caveats are if you see something in the resource ref pages (the doc strings are imported from upstream code), or the tutorial pages under <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/tutorials/> (which are mostly imported from example READMEs).

I did start this earlier, I might have time to finish it tomorrow. There's only about 4 pages to change, I think. I'm looking through all the uses of readFileSync, most are either correct (by dint of there not being an _Asset_ equivalent in whatever resource is using the read string), or in resources pages (so outside the doc project).

Done! And so much easier than the day job :slightly_smiling_face:

Much appreciated, sir! I’ll do a review pass tonight/tomorrow morning so we can get these changes in pronto.
