Would the providers happen to connect to different regions, by chance?

Hm. And I'm guessing configData is just a standard array, right? That's odd. Let me spin up a sandbox and try it myself

yes that’s right - configData.vpcId returns a string

<@U029USY3WB0> to clarify - I have seen the method work in other contexts. It’s just this specific provider with this specific aws profile that is showing the issue. Do you know of specific issues with a given profile/aws account that could lead to this problem?

I don't, unfortunately. It may be a bug; I can't figure it out myself. Mind opening a bug report? <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/new?assignees=&amp;labels=kind%2Fbug&amp;template=0-bug-report.md>

thank you! sorry I couldn't be of more help
