Abstract

Right now the logic for the names of the resources is the following:

• tag.Name
• id
• Random alphanumeric value of length 5

For each of those we test if it's a valid name for a resource and if not we fallback to the next one. A good idea would be that if the tag.Name has a value, try to remove/alter it to fit into the Terraform validation of a resource name, so it would be much more readable.

Proposal

Have a way to remove the invalid characters of a potential resource name to make it more readable for the end user

Implementation

I would say that having a regexp that matches all those invalid charaters and try to remove them directly.
