Hey Brett. John answered this below, but we have an FAQ on this as well:
<https://www.pulumi.com/docs/troubleshooting/faq/#why-do-resource-names-have-random-hex-character-suffixes>

```    # create cluster resource
    eks_cluster_config['name'] = "itplat-eks-cluster"
    eks_cluster = aws.eks.Cluster("itplat-eks-cluster", opts=provider_opts, **eks_cluster_config)```
