Naming Conventions

This post is about Naming Conventions. I haven't decided yet if I am going to keep my Wiki from my current site, www.douglasweb.com, so some of my blog posts might actually become Wiki posts. I am not sure how I am going to build a Wiki, if I can build one. I leaned heavily on SharePoint for most of my web development. But it occurs to me I need to develop a standard as I create resources in Azure, so I want to start writing them down. I am taking a page from Hungarian notation, and using prefixes to distinguish what the resource is. Strictly speaking, I don't have departments or organizations in my own Azure tenant, so I don't have to tell things apart. The project names will be part of the name. Like, everything related to my blog will have blog in the title. So, here is a list of my naming conventions as I go forward:

• Resource groups: rg-youtube.
• App services: app-sample.
• Storage accounts: sa-youtube.
  • Containers, File Shares, etc: No prefix. Capital letter. Blog.
