Multicloud Defense Naming Conventions

Multicloud Defense interacts with a variety of cloud service providers and in order to provide a universal experience across the platforms, limits the character count when you create gateways and objects. Gateways and objects that exist outside of Multicloud Defense have ciscomcd prepended to the name, which may cause issues if the original gateway or object name is too long.

Consider the following character limitations when naming your gateways or objects, both inside and outside of Multicloud Defense:

Character Limitation for Naming Convention

Multicloud Defense Feature	Character Limit
Gateway Instance	55
Object Name	63

Note	The values above indicate the character limit for names without the prepended Multicloud Defense tag. You are not responsible for including the tag when you name the gateway or object.
