title, linkTitle, type, weight, description

title	linkTitle	type	weight	description
nameSuffix	nameSuffix	docs	13	Appends the value to the names of all resources and references.

As nameSuffix is self explanatory, it helps adding suffix to names in the defined yaml files.

Note: The suffix is appended before the content hash if the resource type is ConfigMap or Secret.
