Error with title of CloudFormation stack

Whereas attempting to run an aws cloudformation deploy command I acquired this error:

An error occurred (ValidationError) when calling the DescribeStacks operation: 1 validation error detected: Worth ‘2sl_batch’ at ‘stackName’ didn't fulfill constraint: Member should fulfill common expression sample: [a-zA-Z][-a-zA-Z0–9]*|arn:[-a-zA-Z0–9:/._+]*

CloudFormation doesn’t permit the underscore _ character in stack names or names that begins with numbers.

As an alternative of this:

aws cloudformation --stack-name 2sl_batch ....

I might rename my stack title:

aws cloudformation --stack-name batch ....

AWS naming conventions throughout the platform are very inconsistent and that may be annoying. I used to be creating and AWS group and once I happy the necessities for the stack title, the validation for the group title failed. I used to be capable of create a reputation with higher and decrease case letters, no numbers and no particular characters for each of these and that labored.

Nevertheless, if you go to create an S3 bucket you gained’t be capable of use uppercase and also you’ll have to make use of a splash if you wish to delineate totally different phrases within the title of your bucket somewhat than higher and decrease case.

Consistency could be appreciated. So would the flexibility to call issues beginning with a quantity for corporations like mine whose firm names begin with a quantity.
