}Before creating resources
This is a proposed convention, not a cloud availability check or a complete provider validator. Network prefixes are naming choices, not provider requirements. AWS networks use a Name tag, not a replaceable VPC ID. Storage names may be globally visible; avoid confidential data and check availability. An instance suffix does not guarantee uniqueness. Region abbreviations are organization-defined, not deployment region IDs.
