During Nutanix Objects deployment,Object Store instance namingis governed by specific conventions to ensure system consistency and compatibility with DNS and object storage standards.

The NUSA course describes thesestrict naming rules:

Length Rule:

“Object store names must be between 3 and 32 characters in length. This ensures that the names are concise yet descriptive enough for operational clarity.”

Start/End Rule:

“Object store names must begin with a letter and end with a letter or a number. Names cannot start with a number or symbol to maintain naming consistency across DNS and storage services.”

Uniqueness Across All Clusters:

“While object store names must be unique within the same Nutanix cluster, global uniqueness across multiple clusters is not enforced or required.”

Starting with a number:

“Names starting with numbers are not supported, as per best practices to align with DNS naming standards.”

Thus, the enforced rules:

????Minimum 3, maximum 32 characters

????Begin with a letter and end with a letter/number
