Issue details

Many providers must maintain a map that transforms the "raw" names used by the cloud service resources into sanitized names for the engine/codegen to use in the SDKs. (And the reverse map to translate SDK names back into the names rthat must be sent to the service.) This framework could probably save provider authors some headache by maintaining these maps and performing the translations so that the provider code only has to work with the raw names.

Examples

• K8s CRDs often contain symbols that are not allowed in names in pulumi schema
• AWS native transforms acronyms to PascalCase to get better word splitting in the engine
