| // NodeName is a type that holds a api.Node's Name identifier. |
| // Being a type captures intent and helps make sure that the node name |
| // is not confused with similar concepts (the hostname, the cloud provider id, |
| // the cloud provider name etc) |
| // |
| // To clarify the various types: |
| // |
| // * Node.Name is the Name field of the Node in the API. This should be stored in a NodeName. |
| // Unfortunately, because Name is part of ObjectMeta, we can't store it as a NodeName at the API level. |
| // |
| // * Hostname is the hostname of the local machine (from uname -n). |
| // However, some components allow the user to pass in a --hostname-override flag, |
| // which will override this in most places. In the absence of anything more meaningful, |
| // kubelet will use Hostname as the Node.Name when it creates the Node. |
| // |
| // * The cloudproviders have the own names: GCE has InstanceName, AWS has InstanceId. |
| // |
| // For GCE, InstanceName is the Name of an Instance object in the GCE API. On GCE, Instance.Name becomes the |
| // Hostname, and thus it makes sense also to use it as the Node.Name. But that is GCE specific, and it is up |
| // to the cloudprovider how to do this mapping. |
| // |
| // For AWS, the InstanceID is not yet suitable for use as a Node.Name, so we actually use the |
| // PrivateDnsName for the Node.Name. And this is _not_ always the same as the hostname: if |
| // we are using a custom DHCP domain it won't be. |
