[RFE] Auto-generate parameter values
As an atomicapp developer I would like to be able to define some parameters which are autogenerated from a pattern So that I can avoid having to provide values which are only used to connect two containers.
Example:
When creating internal only databases, the database server and consumer must agree on username/password or client/server certificates, but the precise values are unimportant because they are only used internally. I would like to be able to have these values generated automatically rather than being forced to provide them explicitly.

@markllama absolutely +1.
Asking for input on passwords to be used for a variety of service account credentials is cumbersome for the user, and potentially prohibitively expensive.
One case in point is my lather-rinse-repeat development Makefile, in which my run target specifically sets all passwords to the same value to get it over with.
Note that the ability to generate passwords in my particular problem space immediately leads to being blocked from actually using it because of the duplication of settings in nested atomicapps -- but that is a different topic.

From what I'm understanding, it's (by example) auto-generating account credentials, passwords, etc.
For ex. Atomic App auto-generating a sha256 pass length for a database, etc?
