Python configuration: resource name and name in property

[bbzg]

I have tried to dig into the documentation, but I can't find any good answer there.

What I want to know is, when is name in a resource's properties required?

From what I can gather from the examples, the name of the resource is automatically injected as the name property as well?

For example, a compute.v1.address has a name property, and it gets set to the resource name, if it's omitted.

def generate_config(context):

    address = {
        'name': context.env['name'],
        'type': 'compute.v1.address',
        'properties': {
            'region': context.properties['region'],
            'description': context.properties['description']
        }
    }

    return {'resources': [address]}

Are there other properties that behave this way? A few lines about this behavior would be nice to have in the documentation.

Thanks!

In general we use resource name for name and project from context as default project.
