title: Conventions
---
Ufo uses a set of naming conventions. This helps enforce some best practices and also allows the ufo commands to be concise. You can override or bypass the conventions easily.
## UFO_ENV to ECS Cluster Convention
By default, the ECS cluster value is the same as UFO_ENV's value. So if `UFO_ENV=production` then the ECS Cluster is `production` and if `UFO_ENV=development` then the ECS Cluster is `development`. You can override this convention by specifying the `--cluster` CLI option. You can also override this behavior with [settings.yml]({% link _docs/settings.md %}) to spare you from having to type `--cluster` repeatedly.
## Service and Task Names Convention
Ufo assumes a convention that service\_name and the task\_name are the same. If you would like to override this convention, then you can specify the task name.
```
ufo ship demo-web --task my-task
```
This means that in the task_definition.rb you will also define it with `my-task`. For example:
```ruby
task_definition "my-task" do
source "web" # this corresponds to the file in "ufo/templates/web.json.erb"
variables(
family: "my-task",
....
)
end
```
## Web Service Load Balancer Convention
By convention, if the service has a container named "web", ufo will automatically create an ELB. If you would like to name a service with the word "web" without an ELB, specify `--elb false`. Example:
```sh
ufo ship demo-web --elb false
```
You can also use an existing ELB by specifying the target group arn as the value of the `--elb` option. Example:
```bash
ufo ship demo-web --elb arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:us-east-1:12345689:targetgroup/demo-web/12345
```
