06/25/2022, 3:01 PMHi everyone, I’m deploying an AWS OpenSearch domain, alongside my old AWS ElasticSearch, and there’s one very important difference in how the domain name works: for ES, a unique suffix is appended to the domain, but for OS, it’s not 😮
Is this a bug, or is this how it’s supposed to be?
If it’s expected, then how can we elegantly handle uniqueness across dozens of deployments? 🤔
Thanks!

Are you asking why there's a random suffix? Or why there isn't one?

Got it, you can create one using the random provider and append it to the name as a workaround, but could you cut an issue for this so we can add the randomness back in the provider?
