Elastic Beanstalk Environment Name Restriction size

[kotowick]

It looks like Elastic Beanstalk environment name can handle up to 40 chars. eb-deployer restricts it to 20 (including the hash at the end).

Can we get this updated?

Same question, Is there anyone following on this issue?

The EB environment name which is {envName}-{a|b}-{hash} is limited to 40 characters.
The suffix takes 10 characters: hash is 7 characters, two dashes and a letter which is a or b.
The envName should be limited to 40 - 10 = 30 characters.

FYI, my workaround is changing the limit from 15 to 30 after installed eb-deployer:

sed -i 's/if env_name.size > 15/if env_name.size > 32/g' /usr/local/bundle/gems/eb_deployer-0.6.6/lib/eb_deployer/eb_environment.rb

But it would be nice to merge this into master, is there any concerns on this?
