ziti entities have generic names
It would be helpful if the ziti entities created by zrok admin bootstrap
had a meaningful prefix like zrok-
so that they are identifiable in the ziti network administrator's view. Today, they have generic names like "ctrl" and "frontend."
This might end up being part of a larger issue that revisits the entirety of how zrok
manages the underlying ziti network(s). zrok
is likely going to end up with some amount of ephemeral network support down the road, and this will likely be a larger part of it.
Might consider doing something with this before v0.5
, but it's TBD. Assigning to v0.5
backlog for now.
My usual workaround when I'm testing a zrok deployment is to delete two ziti entities that were created by zrok:
ziti edge delete identity public
ziti edge delete edge-router-policy public
This allows me to re-run zrok admin bootstrap
.
Another option is to set zrok admin bootstrap --skip-frontend
which skips creating the default frontend identity "public," and eliminates the need to always delete that identity before re-running bootstrap.
zrok puts tags on all of the entities it creates in ziti.
Any additional work will be done as part of #301.
