used for testing.

maximum elb name length (the most limiting id) = 32 maximum prefix length = 15 maximum prefix length = l0-<prefix>- = 19 maximum id length = 31 - 19 = 13 (add buffer of 1 just to be safe) = 12.

generates an id using as much of the name as possible with at least MIN_ID_HASH_LENGTH characters of the id randomly hashed the id will always be MAX_ID_LENGTH characters in length.

generates an id using only the name while still being being safe in regards to length and character limitations (if possible).
