AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional — Question 447

In the context of AWS CloudFormation, which of the following statements is correct?

Answer options

• A. Actual resource names are a combination of the resource ID, stack, and logical resource name.
• B. Actual resource name is the stack resource name.
• C. Actual resource name is the logical resource name.
• D. Actual resource names are a combination of the stack and logical resource name.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

When AWS CloudFormation provisions resources without an explicitly defined physical name, it automatically generates one. This generated name is a combination of the CloudFormation stack name, the logical name specified in the template, and a unique suffix to prevent naming conflicts. Therefore, option D is the correct description of this naming behavior.
