A standard for naming Azure resources has been proposed by Microsoft, Define your naming convention. The naming standard specifies that each Azure resource name contains a:
- Resource type abbreviation
- Workload/application
- Environment (.e.g. dev, QA, stage, prod, etc.)
- Azure region
- Instance number
A programmatic means to retrieve the Azure regions used by resource name is provided by the Get-AzLocation PowerShell cmdlet. The documentation for Get-AzLocation (Get-AzLocation) describes the cmdlet's functionality as follows:
Get-AzLocation can be invoked as follows to return a list of Azure locations (regions) that can be used in resource names:
Connect-AzAccount
Get-AzLocation | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Location | Sort-Object
Azure regions are not static meaning regions are added and in theory could be removed. As of January 16, 2024 the Get-AzLocation script shown above returns the following list of Azure regions:
