can you elaborate on what you mean by passing it around? you’ll need to reference the provider somehow

are you referring to the terraform behaviour of interpolating all files in a directory? Pulumi doesn’t do that

@billowy-army-68599 Thanks for the prompt reply. So my default region for aws is

eu-west-2

and I needed to create some resources a few months ago in

us-west-2

. So I created a new provider and set the region. Now I need to add some more resources to

us-west-2

. How do I get this provider from the current stack?

I can't just use the local variable because it's in a different file

previously I did

Copy code

let provider = new aws.Provider(`default-us-west-2`, {
    region: 'us-west-2'
});

So need to get

default-us-west-2

from the stack!?

ah, then export the variable

export const provider = new aws.provider

add an import into the place you want to use it

Copy code

import * from as westprovider from "./providerfile"

And then you can reference it as

Copy code

westprovider.provider

is that the only way? I would have thought you could get resources from the stack. Like you can with

aws.secretsmanager.getSecret()

that calls the API of AWS, you can’t

get

a provider

having said that, there’s absolute no downside to just creating another provider, you can create as many as you like

Yeah it will soon get messy though, I think I'll create a Providers class which keeps static references. This will be tidier than creating lots of providers the same with different names. Thank-you for your time
