Resource naming

Use standard resource group names

SYNOPSIS

Resource group names should use a standard prefix.

DESCRIPTION

An effective naming convention allows operators to quickly identify resource type, associated workload, deployment environment and Azure region.

For resource groups, the Cloud Adoption Framework recommends using the rg- prefix.

Requirements for Resource Group names:

  • At least 1 character, but no more than 90.
  • Can include alphanumeric, underscore, parentheses, hyphen, period (except at end).
  • Resource group names must be unique within a subscription.

RECOMMENDATION

Consider creating resource groups with a standard name. Additionally consider using Azure Policy to only permit creation using a standard naming convention.

NOTES

This rule does not check if the resource group name is unique.

To configure this rule:

  • Override the CAF_ResourceGroupPrefix configuration value with an array of allowed prefixes.
  • Override CAF_UseLowerNames with false to allow mixed case in resource names. By default only lower-case letters and other supported characters are allowed. This option affects all resource name rules.
