A full production system has thousands of datacenters and hundreds of relays.
Let's keep them all organized with a clear naming convention :)
Each datacenter must be named:
[seller].[cityname].[number]
For example:
- google.losangeles.1
- google.losangeles.2
- amazon.virginia.5
In cases where there is only one datacenter in a city for that seller, the number may be omitted.
- i3d.istanbul
When chosing a city name, prefer a cityname as already used for existing relays. This makes it easier to find other relays in the same city, which is a common operation when you are building your relay fleet.
Relays must include the datacenter name, followed by a,b,c etc. for each relay in that datacenter.
[datacenter].[a|b|c...]
For example:
- google.losangeles.2.a
- google.losangeles.2.b
- google.losangeles.2.c
- amazon.virginia.1.a
- amazon.virginia.1.b
- i3d.istanbul.a
- i3d.istanbul.b
In cases where there is only one relay in a datacenter, it is OK to omit the a,b,c if you wish, and then the relay is named the same as the datacenter:
- google.losangeles.1
