Hello,
I would like to start a discussion regarding the naming pattern of our VMs. Right now there is a total mess and we need to be consistent. So here is what I propose, after a discussion I already had in a SUSE-IT's team meeting. Please be aware that NONE of the things I describe below have actually been implemented yet, so everything is up for discussion. I would like to start implementing them soon though, so I'll give the topic a deadline of three weeks (until the next team meeting, 5th of March).
FQDN form proposal: $unique_ID.$location.$purpose.opensuse.org
I wouldn't bother with the extra labels $location.$purpose - professionally, I only create a new label when the network (that corresponds to the label) is functionally/physically sepatate.
### unique_ID
This is a unique name for every machine. When one name is used, it can NEVER be reused. Thus, we will need to list them somewhere (at the progress opensuse-admin-wiki for example) (both the current and the deprecated ones)
Proposals for the unique ID: 1) pattern like vmXY (X and Y being increasing numbers) 2) the cartoon names we currently have
Names yes, but not those names, please. They mean nothing to me, makes them difficult to remember. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (0.4°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: heroes+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: heroes+owner@opensuse.org
