In the case of S3 buckets, it's just the name of the bucket. Not to be confused the `name`parameter of that method which is the name you're giving the result of that method in the stack

So if I had a bucket that was named `piers-bucket` then I'd call it with `const bucket = aws.s3.Bucket.get("my-bucket", "piers-bucket");`

And then in the stack the reference to it would be a called `my-bucket`

<@U01FB0HRB2Q> This took me some time to understand as well. I noticed that in Azure it uses UUID, I think it would be probably be good and more intuitive for AWS resources to use `arn`

This would be a massive breaking change that I'm pretty sure we won't be doing right now.

Also, the AWS SDK runs off bucket name (<https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-javascript/v2/developer-guide/s3-example-creating-buckets.html#s3-example-listing-objects|see here for an example>) and we'd probably want to align with that going forward.
