Description

I received this error when deploying sample sample-django-channels-redis-postgres :

error: could not make instance of 'gcp:compute/subnetwork:Subnetwork': name 'sample-django-channels-redis-postgres-template-shared-subnet-' plus 7 random chars is longer than maximum length 63

Any long project name would cause this. we should be able to validate for users before deployment actually occurs.

Research direction

Start by locating the GCP deployment code that constructs subnetwork names and the validation entry point used before deployment. Reproduce the failure with a project name like sample-django-channels-redis-postgres, then verify that an overlong name is rejected before deployment with a clear error.
