it’s definitely possible, what are you trying? are you exporting functions or using components?

I just started with Pulumi, so forgive me… I have tried to create and export functions so far… I’ve used functions from the examples in files not named index.ts/js… Pulumi does not recognize the files NOT named index, however, these same functions within index.ts work properly.
Working on AWS EKS… Just wanting to logically define AWS (VPC, SG, etc.) from EKS Cluster from kubernetes deployments
The background is… company is agile and using node/react, I’ve lost a little faith in Terraform state maintenance… Looking at Pulumi to provide IaC and standardize on a TS codebase.

@calm-iron-40008 you’ll need to import the files into 
index.ts
there are two mechanisms to get this, the first is this pattern: • the export function pattern ◦ create functions but export them, https://github.com/pulumi/examples/blob/258d3bad0a00020704743e37911c51be63c06bb4/aws-ts-eks-migrate-nodegroups/nginx.ts#L96 ◦ then import them into your `index.ts`: https://github.com/pulumi/examples/blob/258d3bad0a00020704743e37911c51be63c06bb4/aws-ts-eks-migrate-nodegroups/index.ts#L8 • alternatively, create 
ComponentResources
which are analogous to Terraform modules ◦ https://github.com/jaxxstorm/pulumi-examples/blob/ce559f43b3aaea370669295459d7ab7298175bfe/typescript/aws/encrypted_eks/encryptedCluster.ts#L10 ◦ again, import it into your index: https://github.com/jaxxstorm/pulumi-examples/blob/ce559f43b3aaea370669295459d7ab7298175bfe/typescript/aws/encrypted_eks/index.ts#L4
I would strongly recommend going down the second path, you get a bunch of benefits from using component resources like making them packageable

Thanks… I’ll head that way.
