Azure Naming Convention

Generate Azure resource names following the Cloud Adoption Framework naming convention, and browse recommended resource type abbreviations.

Data updated:

Generate a resource name

Standard name (hyphenated)
Compact name (no hyphens, for globally-unique resources)

Pattern: <resource-type>-<workload>-<environment>-<region>-<instance>. Use the compact name for resources that don't allow hyphens or require a globally unique, lowercase, alphanumeric-only name (e.g. storage accounts, container registries, key vaults) — storage accounts are additionally limited to 24 characters.
