GCP entity naming conventions

At the time of writing this documentation, the name of an entity in Google Cloud Platform (GCP):

  • Must start with a lowercase letter
  • Can contain lowercase letters, numbers, and dash ("-") characters
  • Can contain up to 63 characters
    • A dash counts as two characters
  • Cannot have a dash as the last character 

You might want to check Google's documentation on naming entities before you create a anything, just in case you accidentally type an uppercase letter and blow up the cloud get a curt regex error response.

We believe that this may be the relevant documentation: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/naming-resources
