What would encrypting the project name accomplish? Typically if you’re trying to secure a S3 bucket you’ll do that via bucket settings. Many years ago you had to jump through hoops to get things private, but these days there’s a big easy button to make a bucket inaccessible publicly.
- XorNot 3y agoThe point is that in some cases the name of the project might itself be considered sensitive in some way, so preventing people testing bucket names by trying to create them helps prevent it, but doesn't completely lock you out of being able to associate the bucket back to its internal name, and allows the names to be deterministic internally - i.e. someone spinning up a test environment is still getting everything marked appropriately, deterministically, and uniquely.
