- How do names correlate to environment (dev, staging, prod, etc), region (us-west-2, etc) and so on?

- How do you scope non-prod environment sub domains to reduce collision with business/product subdomains (e.g. marketing might want to use stage.example.com)?

For example:

- staging.example.com points to a load balancer for staging workloads

- the request is routed to us-west-2.staging.example.com via a geolocation routing policy (closest region to the user)

- us-west-2.staging.example.com load balancer proxies the request to the backend workload(s)
