Another confusing and somewhat non-sensical error message
Please make your error messages easy for people to understand, please. I already spent a decent amount of time on this but now I know what it is.
The answer is buried in this page in such a a way that I missed it he first time:
I skimmed over that first line to the specifications below and was looking for it there. It should be listed next to the pattern, which by the way is also not that helpful. Some people understand regex but not all newbie programmers do. Even though I understand regex it is still overly confusing compared to just explaining what characters are allowed in plain English.
The information is actually on the page, however it’s out of order. The explanation of the regex should go under it, not above it, and make it clear that it is explaining what that pattern for a KMS Key Alias means.
Bottom line, I added the prefix to my CloudFormation template so I can simply pass in the alias.
