Domain names

Radix supports several domain names for each application component. Each domain name uses details from your application and the Radix cluster hosting it.

Domain name elements:

  • component-name: Component name, e.g. frontend
  • app-name: Application name, e.g. myapp
  • env-name: Environment name, e.g. production
  • cluster-name: Used only in canonical name; refers to the underlying Kubernetes cluster, e.g. eu-18. This value may change and is for debugging only.
  • cluster-dns-zone: DNS zone for the Radix cluster, e.g. radix.equinor.com, playground.radix.equinor.com

Public name​

Format:

[component-name]-[app-name]-[env-name].[cluster-dns-zone]
  • Created automatically
  • Unique for each component and environment

Examples:

  • serializer-oneapp-qa.radix.equinor.com
  • frontend-myapp-production.c2.radix.equinor.com
  • backend-myapp-production.playground.radix.equinor.com

App default alias​

Format:

[app-name].app.[cluster-dns-zone]

The app default alias provides a simple, shareable domain name for your application. It points to a specific component and environment.

Examples:

  • oneapp.app.radix.equinor.com
  • otherapp.app.c2.radix.equinor.com
  • myapp.app.playground.radix.equinor.com

App alias​

Format:

[subdomain].[cluster-dns-zone]

App aliases let you choose a custom subdomain within the cluster DNS zone. Most names are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Examples:

  • oneapp.radix.equinor.com
  • otherapp.c2.radix.equinor.com
  • myapp.playground.radix.equinor.com

External alias​

Format:

[a valid external DNS name]

Use an external alias to bring your own domain name to Radix. See the external alias guide for setup instructions.

Examples:

  • myapp.equinor.com
  • www.mydomain.com

Canonical name​

Format:

[component-name]-[app-name]-[env-name].[cluster-name].[cluster-dns-zone]

The canonical name is the technical, authoritative domain for a component in a specific Kubernetes and Radix cluster.

  • Created automatically
  • One per component
warning

Do not use the canonical name for end users or services. The cluster-name can change without notice.

Examples:

  • serializer-oneapp-qa.eu-18.radix.equinor.com
  • frontend-myapp-production.c2-11.c2.radix.equinor.com
  • backend-myapp-production.playground-92.playground.radix.equinor.com
