That's the Unique ID. It's explained here: docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/latest/gui.... It's basically just a way for CDK to be sure there's a unique name for the resource.

You can see how this is generated here: github.com/aws/aws-cdk/blob/0f0e20.... It seems deterministic - if you run my stack, you get the same IDs - though I doubt that's guaranteed.
