Hi all. In the process of getting our AWS machines up in Azure, and running into a simple but annoying issue wrt DNS names for our instances.
Understanding that the DNS entry must be globally unique, we're trying to use a DNS name along the lines of:
COMPANY-ENVIRONMENT-MACHINETYPE-NUMBER.cloudapp.net.
A real world example would be:
fiftymission-prod-app-1.cloudapp.net
We are of cource running into the Azure DNS name limitation of 3-15 characters, meaning we're going to have to choose a more cryptic name like:
fifty-p-a-1.cloudapp.net.
Before we go ahead and provision everything, just looking to confirm that 15 chars is the limit and if anyone has any namespacing tricks to ensure consistency and uniqueness.
Cheers
