HostnameDescriptionNaming Convention

H1

Host system for Registration System.

Use a 2-3 letter convention to describe the host's main function. As the purpose of the host can easily change we use a generic name, S1 for system 1.

RGH1V1WEB1PRDRGH1X01WEB1

Runs Apache Web Server.

PRD or UAT = Production or UAT
RG = Registration = Overarching Project Code
H1= Hardware 1 = Physical Hardware or Hosting Site
X or C = Type of virtual server = X for Xen, C for Container
1 = The first virtual server with allowance for relation to a corresponding server, in this case just one application server
WEB or APP = Function
1 = The server designation in the series.

RGH1V1APP1PRDRGH1X01APP1

Runs Tomcat Application Server and HypSQL Database Server.

This has both an application and database. Because the database is portable and more easier to move, we make the judgment call to name the system APP after the more primary long term function of the server.

The convention follows but notice the 1 in MGH1V1APP1.

The zero visually places this server with the correspond Web Server.

There is need for a new system for migrating users to tokens which we'll call MG for migration. Notice that we use a generic name rather than TM as the system could evolve to do other types of migrations. The system is low budget and considered temporary. As such, the customer wants to reuse the web server RGH1V00WEBserver PRDRGH1X00WEB.
