Customization

Customization settings define deployment-time behavior that should be prepared before the target device boots.

Machine naming​

Foundry OSD can stage machine naming behavior for Foundry Deploy.

Available controls include:

  • Enable or disable machine naming.
  • Define a machine name prefix.
  • Enable automatic name generation.
  • Allow or block manual suffix editing.
Prefer simple naming rules

Use a prefix and automatic suffix generation unless operators need per-device naming exceptions.

Runtime impact​

Machine naming affects the Foundry Deploy wizard. Staging the behavior from Foundry OSD makes the live deployment path faster and more consistent.

  • Use a prefix when devices should share a naming convention.
  • Enable automatic generation when operators should move quickly.
  • Allow manual suffix editing only when local exceptions are expected.
