What is a UUID?
A UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) is 32-character mix of letters and numbers, split into smaller chunks by hyphens (e.g., abc12345-67de-8fgh-90ij-klmno1234567). No two UUIDs are ever the same, making them perfect for tagging data, files, or devices in a way that avoids mix-ups.
What is a Version 1 UUID?
A Version 1 UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) is created using the current timestamp and the MAC address of the device generating it. This combination helps guarantee that each UUID is unique, even when generated on different machines and at different times. Because they are time-based, Version 1 UUIDs are particularly useful for applications that require unique identifiers that can be traced back to when they were created.
