Instance name format

See also: Instance, Instance states

Instance names must be valid, non-qualified host names, and thus conform to a specific format; in particular:

  • The instance name can only include alphanumeric characters or hyphens (e.g. desirable-earwig).
  • The first character must be an alphabetic letter.
  • The last character must be alphanumeric.
