Our DNS naming is a bit all over the place and this hurts the operators ability to remember what thing is what and all the conventions.

Let's come up with some informal guidance or pseudo standard naming and find a way to (a) teach people who works on infra how to follow it (b) help people to set the right values from the get go using abstractions in places where this is cheap perhaps.

@delroth says

in general I'd standardize on machine-name.az.infra.afnix.fr for baremetal machines, something similar for VMs (maybe .v. between machine name and infra), and then stuff directly under .infra.afnix.fr is just CNAMEs for services
(and user-facing is CNAMEs directly under .afnix.fr)
