🖥️ Host naming convention
Determine a name for the new server based on following guidelines.
🧭 Historic naming convention
Historically we used following naming convention for servers(NOT now):
<purpose>-<location/environment><id>
Example:
- signer-eu03 = A production signing box acting as Dirk 3 in an EU data centre
- beacon-d01 = A development beacon node (jurisdiction is irrelevant)
✅ Current naming convention (April 2022 onwards)
For all new servers, the name clearly indicates the purpose of the server:
<asset>-<function>-<environment/pod number>-<slot id>
Example:
- eth-val-d01-01 = An Ethereum validating server in development pod 1 (slot 1)
- eth-sgn-p02-03 = An Ethereum signing server in production pod 2 (slot 3)
