4.3 Naming and Delete Habits

By Last updated:

Why. Names like test1 become five test1s. Future you will cry.

What. Use short, readable names: rg-course-azure, vm-nginx-01, stmaulilab01 (storage names have stricter rules — lowercase/numbers).

How.

  1. Prefix with purpose: rg-, vm-, st.
  2. Before delete: list resources in the group.
  3. Prefer deleting the whole lab RG at end of week rather than orphan disks.
