About

This tool is a lightweight adaptation of Microsoft's Azure Naming Tool, designed to support Cloud Engineering professionals and teams in formalising consistent, standards-aligned naming conventions within the Azure ecosystem. While it draws inspiration from Microsoft's original offering, this version is not intended as a replacement. Instead, it focuses on simplicity, usability, and fast customisation—ideal for workshops, templates, and internal enablement.

The approach aligns with the principles of Microsoft's Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) and has been flavoured with practical guidance based on Insight's field experience and recommendations. It provides teams with an accessible starting point for embedding naming discipline across Azure environments, while still allowing flexibility based on organisational needs.
