Best Practices for Creating an Azure Naming Convention
Organisations use naming conventions to make it easier and more efficient to work with governance and security. As organisations started to adopt cloud many kept on using the same convention without adapting it. This created issues since those naming conventions, which were designed to be used for on-premise systems, didn’t support new types of resources that are created in cloud environments such as Azure. This article provides a walkthrough of the basic concepts and recommendations related to creating one for Microsoft Azure. A detailed example of a “Naming Convention Guideline” for Azure is also provided to newsletter subscribers.
