Re: [heroes] naming pattern

Hi,   I would change purpose and location.   Reasons: 1) You can see behind the unique ID whether that would be a test or live sytem (or whatever). 2) You have got the location in front of opensuse.org. So you can see directly in which data center the system would be hosted.      So you don't have to look between strange names (ID and pupose name) after the location. 3) That#s the same like we are doing it with our main page: https://de.opensuse.org/ and https://en.opensuse.org   We did that (at 1&1) with our systems in different data centers, too. That's a fantastic idea!   Best regards, Sarah   Gesendet: Donnerstag, 09. Februar 2017 um 13:30 Uhr Von: "Theo Chatzimichos" An: heroes@opensuse.org Betreff: [heroes] naming pattern

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

### 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

I would prefer: - cartoon names for production instances - vmXY or workerXY for CI/OBS workers - whatever for testing instances, but not cartoon names

### location

This can be the country code, or city name. I would prefer the country code

### purpose

This could be:

- infra or prod for production instances (I prefer infra) - test for testing instances - worker for workers

Examples on how our instances' FQDNs will look like:

ariel.de.infra.opensuse.org donald.de.infra.opensuse.org goofy.cz.infra.opensuse.org daisy.us.infra.opensuse.org mediawiki.de.test.opensuse.org salt1.us.test.opensuse.org
