Naming rules and restrictions for Azure resources

This article summarizes naming rules and restrictions for Azure resources. For recommendations about how to name resources, see Recommended naming and tagging conventions.

This article lists resources by resource provider namespace. For a list of how resource providers match Azure services, see Resource providers for Azure services.

Note

Resource and resource group names are case-insensitive unless specifically noted in the valid characters column.

When using various APIs to retrieve the name for a resource or resource group, the returned value may have different casing than what you originally specified for the name. The returned value may even display different case values than what is listed in the valid characters table.

Always perform a case-insensitive comparison of names.

In the following tables, the term alphanumeric refers to:

  • a through z (lowercase letters)
  • A through Z (uppercase letters)
  • 0 through 9 (numbers)

Note

All resources with a public endpoint can't include reserved words or trademarks in the name. For a list of the blocked words, see Resolve reserved resource name errors.

Don't use # in a resource name. It interferes with URL parsing on Azure Resource Manager requests.

Note

A web site must have a globally unique URL. When you create a web site that uses a hosting plan, the URL is http://<app-name>.azurewebsites.net. The app name must be globally unique. When you create a web site that uses an App Service Environment, the app name must be unique within the domain for the App Service Environment. For both cases, the URL of the site is globally unique.

Azure Functions has the same naming rules and restrictions as Microsoft.Web/sites. When generating the host ID, the function app name is truncated to 32 characters. This can cause host ID collision when a shared storage account is used. For more information, see Host ID considerations.

Unicode characters are parsed to Punycode using the IdnMapping.GetAscii method
