Network Naming Convention

Managing cloud resources efficiently starts with a solid naming convention, and in Azure, this is especially critical for maintaining clarity, scalability, and security.

Special thanks to Jeremy Wallace (Microsoft MVP 🏆) 🙏

This diagram provides:

  • ✅ Clear examples of naming formats (e.g., vnet-shared-eus2-01).
  • ✅ A structured, scope-based approach for managing Azure environments.
  • ✅ Tips to ensure consistency across subscriptions, regions, and purposes.

🌟 Why It Matters: A strong naming convention prevents chaos in resource management, especially in large-scale or multi-team environments. It lays the foundation for automation, troubleshooting, and governance.
