Name

Select the name for a Virtual Server
The Virtual Server's name can be any combination of lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens.
It cannot have capital letters, whitespace, or other special characters. Shorter names are preferred because this is part of the server's DNS name.
Name conflicts
Deploying a Virtual Server creates a Block Storage Volume with the same name as the server.
Ensure the Virtual Server's name doesn't conflict with any Storage Volumes in your namespace. If there is an existing Storage Volume with that name, the deployment will fail.
