Suffixes

A suffix is a DNS-like string that is associated with an org or project scope. You must create one suffix for the containing org scope and one suffix for the project scope in which an alias resides. You append the suffixes to any aliases you create in project scopes as follows:

alias.projectsuffix.orgsuffix

Org suffixes must be globally unique. Project suffixes must be unique within the org the project resides in, but they can be reused across orgs. Suffixes ensure that aliases are globally unique across scopes, even when you use the same alias value across multiple org or project scopes.

Attributes

Suffixes have the following attributes:

• -scope-id=<string> - Scope in which to create the suffix. You can also specify the scope using the BOUNDARY_SCOPE_ID environment variable. Suffixes are only supported for org and project scopes.
• -alias-suffix=<string> - Specifies the string that you want to use as the suffix. Boundary appends the org and project suffixes to any aliases you create in project scopes. The alias-suffix must comply with DNS naming rules.
