Using the Azure Naming Tool API to name your Bicep resources

· 6 min read

The Azure Naming Tool was created to help administrators define and manage their naming conventions for Azure resources while providing a simple interface for users to generate a compliant name. The tool was developed using a naming pattern based on Microsoft's best practices. Once an administrator has defined the organizational components, users can use the tool to generate a name for the desired Azure resource.

Today, we will use the Azure Naming Tool API to generate a name for our storage account bicep resource.

An Azure deployment stack is a type of Azure resource that enables the management of a group of Azure resources as an atomic unit.

When deploying an Event Hub using Azure Bicep, you may get the following error:

"code": "BadRequest", "message": "The specified service namespace is invalid. CorrelationId: 652cc73c-1fa7-450a-9788-b73ad6a818df"

The specified service namespace is invalid

This could be caused by the name of your namespace needing to meet the naming requirements.
