Hi Everyone!

Is there a way to disable the <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/troubleshooting/faq/#why-do-resource-names-have-random-hex-character-suffixes|random hex string> appending to objects on resource-by-resource basis?

hi! yes there is, you just need to set the name property on the resource, more info here:
<https://www.pulumi.com/docs/troubleshooting/faq/#why-do-resource-names-have-random-hex-character-suffixes>

Sorry - I think this is the solution:

<https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/resources/#autonaming>

Just explicitly:smiley: define a `name` property

hahah you're quicker than I am - thank you, <@UCWG26BH7>

Also worth mentioning, any resource you add an explicit `name:` to, ensure you add `deleteBeforeReplace`.

(I do not work for Pulumi and this advice comes with no warranty)

Ah yes - I did run into that issue without it. Thanks <@U01L64F6VPH>

this will cause outages, please be careful
