Hello,
I want to deploy a VM instance on a project to be the test NFS server
we have been talking about it.
According to the server naming conventions [0], I should name this
"cloudstore-XXXX-dev", right?
VMs (at least in Openstack, there are some
other VMs floating around in
our cluster) don't typically follow the same naming conventions as
production machines. Usually they get a name of function-<incrementing
number starting with 01> but no one will second-guess whatever name you
choose.
Also, are we increasing the numbers from the latest
labstore servers
or starting fresh for cloudstore?
To avoid hilarity with shortened names, we're
incrementing. So, for
example, 'labcontrol1002' was followed by 'cloudcontrol1003'.
Is there some other VM naming convention I should follow (or that our
tenants are encouraged to follow)?
Not especially! Nova tries (and usually
succeeds) at enforcing
cloud-wide unique naming, so we don't usually use stub names like
'test1' but that's about it.
