 Service names are validated according to [RFC-1123](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1123).
-Any environment variables in the name are ignored, because some environment variables can only
-be resolved at run time. Invalid characters outside of environment variable names will not pass
-validation. 
-For example, if the service name is set to `my_service${NOMAD_NODE_NAME}` it will fail
-validation. However, if a service name is set to `myservice${NOMAD_NODE_NAME}` and the node name
-contains an invalid character, it will only be caught at run time and nomad validate will succeed.
