Naming convention for Cells

Overview

When we provision a cell we need to give it a name, this name will be the basis for a few things:

  • GCP project (if we decide to go with multiple GCP projects)
  • GKE Cluster
  • Label taxonomy for Logs and Metrics
  • Ring Deployment
  • Other cloud resources we use
  • Routing layer

The name of the cell is not to be confused with the role of the Cell, for example cell-Zdf3d (example of name) role is to be the cell where we only run QA jobs, and doesn't host customer data, and cell-Xgkd24 is the first cell we provision to accept customer data.
