Azure Resource Name Generator wot Sam Broughton

Stop failing deployments because of a bad resource name.

Azure Resource Name Generator creates, validates, and copies Microsoft CAF-compliant names for 100+ Azure resource types. Works entirely in your browser - no sign-in, no data leaves your machine.

Select a resource type, fill in your project details, and get a valid name instantly. One click to copy it into your ARM templates, Terraform scripts, or Azure Portal deployments.

✓ Follows CAF naming standards automatically

Every generated name meets Microsoft's Cloud Adoption Framework conventions. Real-time validation checks length limits, allowed characters, and uniqueness requirements as you type — from Virtual Machines to Storage Accounts.

✓ Search and generate in seconds

Type an abbreviation like "vm" or "sql" to find any resource type from the full CAF list. Names are generated as you fill in each field — no submit button, no waiting.

✓ Smart defaults, less typing

Auto-complete suggestions for environments (prod, dev, test, uat), Azure regions, and resource type prefixes. Toggle instance numbers on or off to match your team's standards.

✓ Built for daily use

• Live character counter to catch length violations before they happen
• Light and dark mode with saved preference
• Visual Azure icon library for quick resource identification
• Works offline - no account, no telemetry, no external requests

Made for Cloud Administrators, DevOps Engineers, Solution Architects, and teams managing Azure at scale who need consistent naming across projects and environments.
