The `version` resource option specifies a provider version to use when operating on a resource. This version overrides the version information inferred from the current package. This option was built to be used directly by the Pulumi SDK. `version` should not be used directly during normal operations.

> **Applies to custom resources only.** The `version` resource option has no direct effect on [component resources](/docs/iac/concepts/components/). It is defined on the base resource-options type in every Pulumi SDK, so no SDK rejects it at compile time — passing it to a component resource has no direct effect at runtime.
