There are a few built-in Koding variables that you can use in your stacks. You may have noticed already in previous stacks that we used ${var.koding_user_username} and ${var.koding_group_slug} under tags: section
tags:
Name: '${var.koding_user_username}-${var.koding_group_slug}'There are more variable that you can use in your stacks:
${var.koding_user_email} #logged in user email
${var.koding_user_username} #logged in user username
${var.koding_account_profile_firstName} #logged in user first name
${var.koding_account_profile_lastName} #logged in user last name
${var.koding_group_title} #Team title
${var.koding_group_slug} #Team slug (first part of the team url)Trying this on Koding for Teams:
