# Object Naming

### Accelerator Object Naming

-   Resources will have the 'Name' tag assigned, where Name={name}{suffix}
    -   No prefix or suffix will be applied to DNS records/zones (as that breaks them)
    -   When \_ is not supported, a - will be used
-   Stacks/stacksets/functions and **_non-end user_** accessed objects deployed in all accounts will also start with the {AcceleratorPrefix} prefix (i.e. "**_PBMMAccel-_**" or "**_ASEA-_**")
    -   The prefix does not apply to objects like VPC's, subnets, or TGW's which customers need to directly access. This is for objects deployed to build the customer accessible objects
    -   This prefix will be protected by SCP's so customers don't break 'managed' features
-   Resources will have the tag 'Accelerator={AcceleratorName}' assigned when tags are supported
-   Stacks will have the tag 'AcceleratorName={AcceleratorName}' assigned, which will often (but not always) be inherited by objects created by the stack (due to TGW duplicate tag issue)

### Defaults

    - the default {AcceleratorName} is 'PBMM' before v1.5.0 and 'ASEA' after v1.5.0
    - the default {AcceleratorPrefix} is 'PBMMAccel-' before v1.5.0 and 'ASEA-' after v1.5.0
