I think it's dependent on the situation. I enjoy the charm of machines named "frodo" and whatnot, but when I first arrived at my current company, the totally arbitrary naming conventions was highly confusing because we had three environments (dev/stage/prod) and several databases and other classes of server per environment. Now we have a standardized naming convention with names like "dev-foo01", "stage-bar02", "prod-baz01" etc.. (were foo/bar/baz denote the purpose of the machine) and it's much easier to deal with.
- garnet7 17y agodev servers: gnomes staging: dwarves prod: elves
- whatusername 17y agoSure. But with a DEV_SYD_DB03, UAT_MEL_APP07, PROD_BNE_DB01 kind of scheme, I've got much more information at a glance than you do.
- BerislavLopac 17y ago@garnet7, there are no gnomes in LoTR. ;) Or, actually, there are, but they are actually Elves...
