09/22/2023, 3:04 AMThe ssm.Parameter resource from the AWS package adds a random string suffix whenever I create a parameter.
Does anyone know how to disable this? I couldn't find anything in the reference docs that mention the behaviour.

09/22/2023, 3:23 AMIt can be a bit confusing that every constructor has a name parameter, and most resources have a name property.. and they're closely related but not the same...
