Enabling custom host names
The custom host names feature gives Matrix infrastructure orchestration administrators more control
over how server host names are generated, and uses an OO workflow to manage host name
creation and assignment. New host names are based on the request being performed and the
current infrastructure being provisioned. The host name generation strategy is completely defined
in the OO workflow, and Matrix infrastructure orchestration ensures the generated host names are
valid and unique within the servers provisioned by Matrix infrastructure orchestration.
