Description

The host_naming_strategy feature (#2361) lets a site pick how machine hostnames are derived. This adds an operator-facing page to the docs site covering:

  • The four strategies (ip_address, serial_number, mac_address, and fun).
  • How names are applied.
  • What switching a live site does.

...and a short troubleshooting section for the cases an operator will actually hit (duplicate serials, placeholder serials, names that didn't change after a switch, etc).

Table of contents entry added alongside the other Day 1 guides.
