Issue details

Recently tried to run Localstack with pulumi-eks and found that the AWS package dependency pinned to a certain version (6.0.4) which has a known bug that results in serious performance degradation with every custom endpoint the user use, this can result with pulumi-local to hang up to 40mins without doing anything. See issue here: pulumi/pulumi-aws#2880

In light of the above, would it be possible to add an option so the user is able to set his own version for the dependency or the package pick up and use the locally available version of the AWS package? It could default to the current one.

Affected area/feature

Pulumi-AWS package dependency.

Thanks for the feedback @lakkeger! Unfortunately, overriding the bundled AWS version will probably be tricky, so I can promise that any time soon, but I did go ahead and kick off a new release of pulumi-eks (https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-eks/actions) that should pick up a version of AWs with the fix for pulumi/pulumi-aws#2880
