+## Options :: name\_include\_region\_compact
+This flag determines if we compact the region to a shorter name, and use it if the name with the full
+region is longer than the maximum of 63 characters.  It takes the first character of the full region
+name and uses that. For example, `us-gov-west-1` becomes `ugw1`.  The default value is true.
