Hey! I'm recieving an error when using the

aws.cloudfront.VpcOrigin

resource. It seems that the child config of

vpcOriginEndpointConfig

requires the parent resources

arn

. The code example in the official documentation reference

_this.arn

for the TypeScript example, but _this is not defined, and I am unable to use the resource in the documented way. Is the only solution to create the VpcOrigin without an endpoint configuration, fetch the resource to get the

arn

and then attempt to patch the

vpcOriginEndpointConfig

after?

Scratch this! The documentation isn't super clear. I cross-referenced the pulumi docs against the CDK docs to understand what the value is supposed to be. In this case, the ARN for the load balancer. I'd suggest making this clearer in the examples by not referencing

this

but instead a small reproducible demo of creating an ELB and assigning the ARN correctly. Perhaps the type definition could do with some work too as

The VPC origin ARN

is ambiguous.

Thanks a lot for that feedback @best-egg-43882! Do you mind opening an issue about this here: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws/issues/new/choose
