Prefixes & Keys

This page lists all DNS domain names (prefixes) that have keys defined in the native.cloud ontology.

Domain Prefixes

All metadata keys in native.cloud are prefixed with their domain namespace to ensure global uniqueness and clear semantic categorization:

Prefix	Domain	Description	Keys
compute.native.cloud	Compute	Physical and virtual compute hardware, virtualization flags, CPU cores, and thermal states	6 keys
identity.native.cloud	Identity	User identities, display names, unique identifiers, and certificate validities	4 keys
network.native.cloud	Network	Network interfaces, physical MAC addresses, and connectivity attributes	1 key
storage.native.cloud	Storage	Data lifecycle, deletion eligibility timestamps, and retention lock durations	3 keys
tenancy.native.cloud	Tenancy	Tenant identifiers, isolation models, service tiers, and suspension statuses	4 keys
topology.native.cloud	Topology	Geographic continent names, ISO country codes, and availability zone IDs	3 keys
vendor.native.cloud	Vendor	Vendor organizations, contact endpoints, PCI/USB vendor IDs, and SLA documentation	8 keys
workload.native.cloud	Workload	Application versions, business criticalities, monitoring dashboards, and repositories	7 keys

Key Naming Convention

Keys follow standard Kubernetes domain prefix syntax:

<prefix>.native.cloud/<keyName>

For example:

• compute.native.cloud/cpuCoreCount
• tenancy.native.cloud/tenantID
• workload.native.cloud/environmentName
