Summary

Added unique IDs for resource naming to avoid conflicts, default region fallback, and auto-confirmed resource cleanup.

Security assessment

Changes focus on reliability (unique resource names) and usability (default region/auto-cleanup). No security vulnerabilities are addressed; modifications lack security context or fixes for weaknesses.
