Naming Convention for Labs in GCP

This project uses a specific naming convention for its labs when deployed on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The convention is as follows:

• Prefix: All lab instances are prefixed with xf-lab.
• Purpose: This naming ensures easy identification and management of lab resources within GCP.
• Script Compatibility: The delete-xf-labs.bash script relies on this naming convention to identify and delete only the relevant lab VMs, avoiding interference with other resources.

Adhering to this naming convention is crucial for effective resource management and clean-up processes in the GCP environment.

Contributions to enhance or extend lab exercises are welcome. Please follow the standard GitHub pull request process.
