It certainly isn’t how “most” of AWS works. Nothing makes the name tags for important APIs like VPC or EC2 even exist, yet alone be unique. They use provider-assigned IDs instead.

vpc and ec2 are the big ones. they both support tagging atomically during create though, so it’s fine?

for ec2 i’m not sure i’d want unique names per instance. typically i prefer groups of instances with the same name.
