Azure template deployment failed

Question

I tried different resource names but nothing works.

Error:

Resource name For ping is invalid. The name can be up to 80 characters long. It must begin with a word character, and it must end with a word character or with '_'. The name may contain word characters or '.', '-', '_'. (Code: InvalidResourceName)

Answer 1

Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

Ensure the name starts with a letter and make sure it ends with a letter or underscore and use only allowed characters (letters, numbers, periods, hyphens, underscores).

If you're using a variable to generate the name, review how it's constructed and ensure any concatenation or string manipulation follows the naming rules.

If this was working before, review any recent changes to your template or deployment process.
