Container names were generated as {name}-{pid}-{counter}, where the
counter is a per-process itertools.count. This scheme breaks across CI
runs on the same host: if a prior job was killed abruptly (SIGKILL,
cancellation) its containers are left running since --rm only removes
containers on exit. A subsequent run whose worker inherits the same PID
(common in containerized CI with small PID namespaces) and reaches the
same counter value will collide with the orphaned container.
Replace pid+counter with uuid.uuid4(), which generates a random UUID,
making names unique across processes, hosts, and time without any shared
state or leaking host identifiers.

If you can use an existing folder, consider adding your test to it. New folders should be used for new large categories/subsystems, or when the test environment is significantly different from some existing suite, e.g. you plan to start scylladb with different configuration, and you intend to add many tests and would like them to reuse an existing Scylla cluster (clusters can be reused for tests within the same folder).
To add a new folder, create a new directory, and then
copy & edit its suite.ini.
