To identify each individual machine we use something called a Machine ID. The Machine ID is unique to each computer and is built off of the MAC address of the machine. A MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces. If anything has changed it willresult in the machine becoming un-registered.

How is etc machine ID generated?

The machine ID is usually generated from a random source during system installation or first boot and stays constant for all subsequent boots. Optionally, for stateless systems, it is generated during runtime during early boot if necessary. The machine ID may be set, for example when network booting, with the systemd.

What is machine ID used for?

This ID uniquely identifies the host. It should be considered “confidential”, and must not be exposed in untrusted environments, in particular on the network. If a stable unique identifier that is tied to the machine is needed for some application, the machine ID or any part of it must not be used directly.
