When using Jump To, both in Reference and in Configuration, let it be a filter displaying only the resources of the selected provider or even the only resource selecting and not a "Go To". This makes the display cleaner.

And in reference, that even resources that are lower-level scope, have examples of names displayed.

Thank you very much.

Hi, can you confirm whether naming convention validation is included as part of the tool, please?

This Power BI report is using https://cloudpricing.blob.core.windows.net/azurespecs/APIData/ResourceSkus.json. However, this blob is not public. When you download this pbix file and open it, you will get the following error.

AzureBlobs failed to get contents from 'https://cloudpricing.blob.core.windows.net/azurespecs/APIData/ResourceSkus.json'. Status code: 409, description: 'Public access is not permitted on this storage account.'.

Please enable public access for ResourceSkus.json blob.

Tool does not agree with documented naming restrictions here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/resource-name-rules#microsoftkeyvault

Tool says that length can be 1 - 127 characters

This should be 3-24 characters

The projects/apps/services resource component requires all projects to be created beforehand, and doesn't allow user to input their own project name. This is also a risk because if we add all project names, we risk users seeing confidential project names.

Would be nice if we could create additional resource components, that accepts input during naming generation.

We are installing the Azure naming tool in AKS. But we failed when inputting admin password. Could you help check this?

Hopefully the title says it all :-)

It would be nice when generating a number of resource names to not have to keep re-selecting values from the list of components but to remember the most recently chosen one.

Install of the Docker application as per instructions. Set Admin password, update Configuration of Resource Types and Locations, as advised. Exported base Configuration.

Selecting any combination of options in 'Generate' will not allow typing into the 'Instance' field. The 'Generate' button will remain greyed out (un-clickable). No errors appear in the Console, tested in Firefox, Edge and Chrome. There's no utility in the app without this fundamental.

Missing resource types

• Add resource type to define the name for CosmosDb name, account and container
• Add resource type for Log Analytics Workspace names
• Add resource type for AppServiceName and appServicePlanName

In the file: https://github.com/microsoft/CloudAdoptionFramework/blob/master/ready/AzNamingTool/repository/resourcetypes.json

The following resource types have wrong regex syntax.

"Id": 192,"Id": 194,"Id": 195,"Id": 196,"Id": 197,"Id": 198,"Id": 199,

Wrong one: "Regx": "^[a-zA-Z0-9_-\.()]{1,80}$", as if you try to generate a name you will get:

{ "resourceName": "***RESOURCE NAME NOT GENERATED***", "message": "There was a problem validating the name.", "success": false }

And in the admin log you will see:

ERROR Invalid pattern '^[a-zA-Z0-9_-\.()]{1,80}$' at offset 15. [x-y] range in reverse order.

Right one should be:
"Regx": "^[a-zA-Z0-9_\.()-]{1,80}$",

I would like to suggest the feature of being able to configure a component as optional globally, as it is already possible to activate or deactivate it. Both for native components and for custom components.

Thank you very much!

What's the suggested resource limit(memory, cpu, disk size) if I want to deploy the Azure Naming Tool by docker?
Could you give me the example values?

Hi
It would be great if you could add uniquestring (like the function you have in arm and bicep) as optional component.
You already mention it multiple times in the docs, ie https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/bicep/bicep-functions-string#uniquestring
That way the resources can have unique names between ie environments, regions, etc without having to add all those components. And since "everyone" relies on the same components in their naming strategies it doesnt take long before you end up with a conflict (like kv-myapp-eus-dev). Uniquestring would help solve both.

Hello,

i'm looking to generate a route table name.
In the Reference Tab, i well see Microsoft.Network/routeTables

But when i go to Generate, i don't get it in the list :

Hi,

If I wanted to implement the tool as part of a build system, I would like to receive the newest version of resourcetypes.json & resourcelocations.json (i.e. from mcr.microsoft.com).
At the same time, I would like to be able to override a subset of resourcetypes.json and resourcelocations.json with values from my own settings.

Would it be possible to enhance the application to allow this kind of behaviour?
Maybe with files like resourcetypes_ovveride.json resourcelocations_override.json where my changes are saved?

Thanks

wanted to generate a name for a private endpoint that I am creating with bicep.
Couldn't see the resource type anywhere: Microsoft.Network/privateEndpoints, wondering if I am missing something or could this be added in future?

Can the shortnames be aligned to the MS recommended shortnames/abbreviations where possible:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-adoption-framework/ready/azure-best-practices/resource-abbreviations

I understand this can be done manually by editing the resources.csv, but I would be nice to have everything aligned and consistent where possible.

Would it be possible to create an additional component to the Azure Naming Tool for the purpose of adding the function of the resource? After a discussion with the team it was identified that an additional component would be necessary to identify the function of the named resource.

After trying to alter one of the other components to try and fit this purpose, it was clear they were locked down to their purpose and therefore I was unable to create a different component.

The example names on the Reference tab (which I actually find more useful than the Generate tool) are not honouring the currently configured delimiter (dash in my case).

Hi, previously in version 1.0 of the naming tool, I opened an issue as I wanted to make the Org component compulsory for all resources. Now I am using version 2.0, how do I apply the same change? -

you can remove the Org component from the "exclude" column in the resources.csv file before you run the tool. If you've already run the tool, you can re-run it and it will pull in your changes to any of the files in the "data" folder.

Currently it's only possible to remove or add preconfigured components. It would be a nice feature to be able to add custom components to this list or rename the existing components to align with our company policy.

Hi,

Thanks for the tool. Is very useful!
I was setting some names for my environment and found that is not aligned to what Azure asks for.
IE. I created a storage account with dashes as delimiter and the generated name is with dashes.

If I change the delimiter to period, it will eliminate the period.

Any guidance on this?
Thanks!

A couple of ways that this could be done:

Add an 'add' button to the Generate tool to accumulate a list of names based on the selected component values but a different resource type (and remember a list of the previously generated names).

Compile of a list of resource types that you need names for first and then ask the tool to generate a name for all of them. I guess this would be a bit like the example names in the Reference tool but for a list of 'favourite' resource types only.

Hello Microsoft Team,

I'm working as a Cybersecurity Consultant and I do CISO Workshops with my customers to make them understand the security advantages of moving to the Cloud and help them with strategic guidance as well.

In the past I used the old Workshop as a Reference and I included some of the slides, because they are really informative.
I wonder why you only provide the new CISO Workshop in a PDF format.

It would be awesome if you could also upload a Powerpoint file, so we can include your guidance in our Workshop to help your customers to understand what the Strategy of Microsoft is and how your products can help them to become more secure.

As I understand it, the Workshop is published under the MIT License, but without the right of using any Microsoft Logos and Trademarks, but with the PDF we can't remove those.

Hi
I think the title says it all :)
It would be great if you could publish the Azure Naming Tool image to your public registry to ease the deployment for everybody.

Regards
Jonatan

We just deployed landing zones (using custom deployment tool). We have generated the naming convention we want with aznamingtool. I can't find any instructions on how to enforce the naming convention. Azure policy?

By design the Org component is excluded for most resources and only optional for high level resources, but would it be possible to make the Org component required for all resources so that it becomes a prefix in the naming convention?

I've cloned the repo and tried running Set-AzureNamingConfiguration.ps1 and following the prompts. When asked on the first prompt to enter the numbers for UNDESIRED components I entered 23 and then pressed ENTER but based on the next prompt it seems that my input was completely ignored.

Reproduction steps:

1. Run Set-AzureNamingConfiguration.ps1 from Powershell.
2. Type 23 and then press ENTER when prompted with the first prompt.

Expected results:

Components 2 and 3 should not be shown but all other components 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 should show in the next prompt which is supposed to confirm the set of desired components.

Actual results:

Components 2 and 3 still remain in the list of desired components in the next prompt even though they were provided by following the instruction as UNDESIRED components. Additionally, component 8 does not appear in the next prompt even though it wasn't entered in as UNDSIRED.

Ex.

STEP 01: REMOVE THE UNDESIRED AZURE RESOURCE NAMING COMPONENTS

You have selected the following components:

    (1) ResourceType
    (2) Org
    (3) ProjAppSvc
    (4) VmRole
    (5) Environment
    (6) Location
    (7) Instance

Is this correct? Type Y for Yes or N for No

I've tried using two different versions of PowerShell ( 7.2.1 and 5.1.22000.282) and Windows 11.

I have the app running in a Web App for container running in Azure.
After a period of time, while you use the application, and you generate some names for your resources, application is crashing, with the following error in the logs:

How i use application?
I'm having a function that calls the api to generate names for azure resources, using this api call /api/ResourceNamingRequests/RequestName

How you can replicate?

Just create a function to generate a name for all resource types using the following api call /api/ResourceNamingRequests/RequestName

Api call json body :

{"resourceType": "shortNameFromTheList","resourceUnitDept": "sud","resourceProjAppSvc": "spa","resourceEnvironment": "dev","resourceLocation": "we","resourceInstance": "001"}

Under windows VM resource type i have excluded some components like Environment, location, Project. But when i try to generate name it throws an error that such components are required.

Error Message: You must supply the required components. ResourceProjAppSvc value was not provided. ResourceInstance value was not provided.

A great tool many thanks!

please add resource types for::

Container Apps
Container Apps Environments
Container Apps Environments Storage Settings

There are two Cloud Adoption Frameworks on GitHub. The on under Microsoft/CAF and the one under MicrosoftDocs/CAF. In small print one refers to the other, but it is not clear enough. Additionally, if you Google with Bing for “github cloud adoption framework” you get the one you are least likely to want to find first, and the second one is the docs one. Ask me how I know that someone can make that mistake!

https://github.com/microsoft/CloudAdoptionFramework
https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/cloud-adoption-framework

I propose you make very clear in block letters that this is the supporting act and that people are likely looking for the other one!

When you update the resource type config file using post method from the api /api/ResourceTypes/PostConfig it give you some validation errors:

{
"type": "https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-6.5.1",
"title": "One or more validation errors occurred.",
"status": 400,
"traceId": "00-4db0bd302c23a01a53c7a4730fadb151-9cf0687d72cf2130-00",
"errors": {
"[300].ShortName": [
"The ShortName field is required."
],
"[304].ShortName": [
"The ShortName field is required."
],
"[305].ShortName": [
"The ShortName field is required."
],
"[306].ShortName": [
"The ShortName field is required."
],
"[307].ShortName": [
"The ShortName field is required."
],
"[308].ShortName": [
"The ShortName field is required."
]
}
}

When you update the same json config file through the webinterface, error is not given back:

Even if the errors are present using api post method, configuration is updated.

Please could you add a condition to the code to remove the delimiter when the allowed character length is exceeded? This was previously suggested and would be great if possible? Thankyou.

The Generate tool ignores its own advice on 'child' resource types such as SQL DB (I suppose that you might still want to generate a unique name but it ought to warn you that it's not recommended to do so)

The PBIX references data stored in https://cloudpricing.blob.core.windows.net/azurespecs/APIData/ResourceSkus.json, this json requires a storage key that is not provided, and the query fails

I'm trying to do an export for global configuration from web interface and i've ticked the check box to include Admin Configuration. When i'm looking at the exported file, the settings for Admin are set to null:

I'm using the latest version 2.3.0.

I had some issues running the Import-Export-Blueprints.ps1 to import the blueprint, what I found was that the json files needed renaming from CAF.json to Blueprint.json (Case sensitive) and Governance.json to Blueprint.json and this managed to import the Blueprints.

I can't seems to figure out how to generate names for resources using the ResourceNamingRequests API endpoint.

Is it possible to provide examples?

@jtracey93, I noticed that you updated the ESLZ sample architecture visio on June 15 & added a number of new tabs, but I couldn't find any related documentation or changelog describing the purpose of these additional examples.
https://github.com/microsoft/CloudAdoptionFramework/commits/master/ready/enterprise-scale-architecture.vsdx

Could you provide any additional info or context? (the new examples look quite useful & I'm anxious to share with my customers, but was hoping to have some context.) Thanks!

The AzNamingTool v2 is brilliant. I would want this to be a go to point in a business to get azure resource naming conventions and also Tagging conventions/mandatory tags

Is it possible to add a section for mandatory tags? We have tags enforced via Policy and it would be nice if we had a central tool, where resource names and tags can be referenced.

Another feature which would be handy, but I appreciate it may be out of scope here is, AAD Security Group Naming convention, where users can reference how they should be naming AAD Groups as per business naming convention.

Hi,

I am evaluating your great tool and I have noticed discrepancies between https://github.com/microsoft/CloudAdoptionFramework/blob/master/ready/AzNamingTool/repository/resourcetypes.json and https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-adoption-framework/ready/azure-best-practices/resource-abbreviations

In some cases, the entry is missing in resourcetypes.json (i.e. appi- , plan-) in other it's different (i.e. app- vs wapp- for Web app)
Will your tool be the official list from Microsoft?

Hi, I have just installed the Azure Naming Tool. I am finding that when generating a subscription name from the vanilla install, I get "Input string was not in a correct format." error. This has happened for the local installation and Azure installation having followed your installation guidelines.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

The CAF documentation point to a document in this repository: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Microsoft/CloudAdoptionFramework/master/references/initial-decisions-checklist.docx

A lot of links found in the document are wrong, pointing to a release branch in review.docs.microsoft.com

Also, @BrianBlanchard there is a lot of review notes at page 2. Is it still relevant?

I tried to create Azure DevOps by acloud adoption plan template,
but it failed because template zip is missing.

template link (this is missing/404 not found)

Unfortunately, I could not find any resource types for Azure Virtual Desktop. However, in some VDI projects this would be mandatory for the naming convention.
It would be great if these could be built in.

Virtual desktop host pool | Microsoft.DesktopVirtualization/hostPools | vdpool
Virtual desktop application group | Microsoft.DesktopVirtualization/applicationGroups | vdag
Virtual desktop workspace | Microsoft.DesktopVirtualization/workspaces | vdws
Virtual desktop scaling plan | Microsoft.DesktopVirtualization/scalingPlans | vdscaling

The PBIX makes calls to the pricing api that currently do not function

This is occurring for all the Pricing API calls within the PBIX.

it looks like based on the error, the ODATA call is wrong, all Pricing API calls fail with the same error

Unless I just haven't figured out how to do this, but can we have capability to allow the end user of the tool to enter text into part of the name. Maybe limiting that text to x amount of characters.

e.g. rg-eu-prd-(custom text)-01

Hi.

The tool has been deployed in an Azure Container App.
After a some minutes, i'm unable to enter admin mode or to the configuration section.

The website stop responding and throw the following message
"An error has occurred. This application may no longer respond until reloaded. Reload"
