Hi Everyone,

Hey Richard. CloudFormation doesn’t require that you specify the name field for these resources, in fact I almost always let CF automatically name them. A couple of reasons:

  1. Once you name a resource, if you ever want to rename it, CF usually has to delete and recreate it rather than update in-place (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-sqs-queues.html)
  2. S3 bucket names need to be globally unique
