In computing, a naming scheme is a system for assigning and managing names of objects connected into computer networks. It typically consists of a namespace and processes for assigning, storing, and resolving names.
Naming schemes in computing
[edit]Server naming is a common tradition. It makes it more convenient to refer to a machine by name than by its IP address.
Network naming can be hierarchical in nature, such as the Internet's Domain Name System. Indeed, the Internet employs several universally applicable naming methods: uniform resource name (URN), uniform resource locator (URL), and uniform resource identifier (URI).
Naming systems have several other characteristics. The entities that assign and manage names can be distributed, centralized, or hierarchical. Names can be human-readable or not human-readable.[1]
Azure
[edit]On Microsoft Azure there is a naming convention to prefix applications with app-, functions app with func-, and service buses with sb-. The convention is to suffix the name with the environment -prod or -test and a number for the instance such as -001, -002, etc. Example app-navigator-prod-001.azurewebsites.net.[2][3]
