Resource Name Generator for Azure by Sam Broughton

Stop failing deployments because of a bad resource name.

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

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

✓ Follows CAF naming standards automatically

Generated names follow Cloud Adoption Framework naming conventions. Real-time validation checks length limits, allowed characters, and resource-specific requirements as you type, from Virtual Machines to Storage Accounts.

✓ Search and generate in seconds

Type an abbreviation like "vm" or "sql" to find the resource type you need. Names are generated as you fill in each field: no submit button, no waiting.

✓ Smart defaults, less typing

Auto-complete suggestions for environments, 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 early
• Light and dark mode with saved preference
• Visual resource icon library for quick identification
• Works offline: no account, no telemetry, no external requests

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