I have a quick question about naming resources - what is the difference between the constructor "name" argument and the *Args *Name argument? I'm using AzureNextGen.Latest and it throws an error when the *Args name argument is missing.

The constructor argument is a “logical” name - it identifies the resource for Pulumi and has to be unique in the stack. The args name is a “physical” name that will appear in Azure.

We have an issue open to auto-assign the physical name based on the logical one but it’s a bit tricky in the NextGen provider

Hey Mikhail, thanks alot - that clears things up!
