Question: Choosing an instance name (Change Feed)

I am looking for some guidance on the best instance name to use with the change feed processor library. If I understand it correctly let’s say I have a worker application called worker-a that would be my processor name and I might say deploy 3 of these either on an azure app service or maybe in AKS. In order to have these load balances correctly, I would need to set an instance name.

My question is what’s a good name? Does that name need to persist between deployments? Or could this be a new Guid between deployments? I feel it would have to remain consistent so a new processor deployment would pick up where the last left off?

I wondered if there was any docs/guidance on this or any common way this is done. I can’t seem to find much on the web and on the MS docs page.

Thanks in advance, Billy

Instance Name refers to the name of the Instance/Machine that is running the processor. A unique identifier for the compute resource, either the VM name, or the pod unique id, or the instance id of your app service.
