Is there any way to make a static name for an elasticache cluster?

You mean without the auto naming of the resource?

Like this?
```
new aws.elasticache.Cluster("cachecluster", {
    name: "cachecluster",
...
```

I don’t see name as a property. Didn’t try to see if it would still work though.

Seems like clusterId may be what I’m looking for, unfortunately it seems like AWS has really low restrictions on the name.

<@UGDSK5RNC> if that doesn’t work for you, can you open an issue on github under pulumi-aws and add me to the comment?

<@UGDSK5RNC> You are right, I was too quick...

Seems like some validation logic needs work on elasticache at least. `numCacheNodes` seems to be required, but isn’t being required during the preview. Not sure if there is anything else.

Yeah anything you feel should be different there, add it to that issue and I can get that fixed up
