I assume we'd want to use a wordlist without profanity? There are also only 72945 words without punctuation in that list, but MAAS has bigger ambitions! :) To solve both these problems we could select, say, 500 words that are safe and memorable along with a numeric suffix. Another option is to use subdomains for clusters. Clusters are only meant to contain a few hundred machines, so a 500-long word list would probably suffice if it were combined with a subdomain (selected from another word list?). ** Summary changed: - pronounceable machine names in MAAS + MAAS does not have pronounceable machine names ** Also affects: maas Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: maas Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: maas Importance: Undecided => Wishlist -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1287224 Title: MAAS does not have pronounceable machine names To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/maas/+bug/1287224/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
