Azure Resource Name Builder

A static site that builds Azure resource names following the team naming standard (see naming conection.md). Deployable to GitHub Pages — no build step, no dependencies.

Run locally

python3 -m http.server 8000
# open http://localhost:8000

Any static file server works (e.g. npx serve).

Deploy to GitHub Pages

1. Push these files to a GitHub repository.
2. Go to Settings → Pages.
3. Under Build and deployment → Source, choose Deploy from a branch.
4. Select the branch (e.g. main) and folder /root.
5. Save. The site will be published at https://<user>.github.io/<repo>/.

Alternatively, use the GitHub Actions deployment workflow for more control.

Editing the rules

All naming rules live in assets/config.js — change them there, no other file needs editing:

• format / condensedFormat — the name templates (reorder tokens freely).
• environments, regions — allowed values (each environment has a short and condensed form per §10.5).
• condensedResources — abbreviations that use the condensed 15-char format (default: vm, vmss).
• condensedCharLimit — character limit for condensed names.
• uniqueResources / per-resource multiInstance — whether an instance number applies (§10.4).
• generalRules, instanceRule, components — text shown in the UI.
• resources — the full Azure abbreviation list, grouped by category. Each entry: { name, abbr, namespace, category, multiInstance }.

The Azure abbreviations are sourced from the Microsoft CAF resource abbreviations page.
