12/20/2022, 3:24 PMHi - can I create a provider that contains components made up from resources in the same provider?
The closest I've found so far is this example from pulumi-go-provider, but the components are actually using resources from
pulumi-randomb

no, you’d create a component that includes resources from the provider, not the other way around

a provider talks directly to an API. A component is a grouping of resources

12/20/2022, 3:35 PMI was hoping to make a single distributable (provider?) where Component A creates (groups?) Resource B and Resource C.
But looks like I need to put Resource B and Resource C into their own resource provider, then put Component A into its own component provider and distribute both to users.
Still learning the ropes!

12/21/2022, 11:12 AM@billowy-army-68599 I think that @busy-room-61756 was discussing creating a provider that serves both custom resources and component resources, which should be possible (and is done in the example they referenced).
