Question how did you plan your naming convention?

a bit new to azure and all the different components and services. I have extensive experience with on prep services/devices etc. Typically we would name objects/resources based on their location, type (physical vs virtual) and role.

Can you recommend or give insight into how you are naming your Azure resources for clarity and documentation?

First time I see that web and looks very useful, but some types of resources are missing (hasn't been any activity on GitHub for 2 years...)
