Guys, If i would like to turn off the random string suffix on AWS resources. Of course taking the risk there is another resource with the same name in a different stack. How can I do this if it is possible? Lets say I would like to make a role KubeAdmins not KubeAdmin-sd4575s :slightly_smiling_face:

My college helped me out again. <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws/blob/master/sdk/python/pulumi_aws/iam/role.py#L34> :slightly_smiling_face:

I hope there will be a good API documentation for python too :wink: in the next year as Luke mentioned it...because I always ask about obvious things :wink:

That's right, you can use the `name` property to choose a specific name.

Note that this will make it harder to do zero-downtime replacements.  Pulumi does create-before-delete replacements by default, but this will only work if you are using auto-naming so that the newly created resource has a different name.  Doing this allows a new resource to be created, and dependencies to be updated to point to the new resource, before the old resource is deleted.  This is generally quite useful.
