Reduces changes of things like T269825: Incorrect X-Cache-Status reported by deployment-prep caches.
Also should help a little with navigating of the list of instances to find what one is looking for and recognise what is what based on documentation for production.

| Open | None | T280393 Rename deployment-cache-(text|upload)0x to deployment-cp0x |
I wonder at which point Traffic is planning on moving cp* hosts to bullseye? This would be much more convenient to do if there's another reason to be reimaging/renaming those hosts.
Yeah, there's no rush definitely. Just something to keep in mind for next time there's something to do around these instances.
One more issue: given cloud vps does not have per-role hiera keys, we need to rely on instance prefix based hiera (which is different for text and upload)
I think we'd have to do something like deployment-cp-(text|upload)0x exactly for this reason. I can think of a way to abuse Tofu to do things differently than just prefix puppet, but I don't think that hack would make managing the cluster easier in practice.
