Namesmith

Compose CAF-aligned Azure resource names and governance tags. Offline, no accounts, no network.

Namesmith turns a workload, an environment and a region into consistent Azure resource names and governance tags. You pick the resource types you are creating, and Namesmith builds a name for each one that follows the Cloud Adoption Framework pattern, then checks it against that resource type's real Azure naming rules before you paste it into the portal, an Azure CLI command, or a Bicep or Terraform file. It runs entirely offline in your browser. It is built for people who work in Azure day to day: cloud administrators, DevOps and platform engineers standing up resource groups, storage accounts, key vaults, function apps and virtual machines, and anyone studying for an Azure certification. The per-resource-type rules are the part that trips people up, and Namesmith encodes them so you catch a problem before Azure rejects the name. What you get: - A composer for 26 common resource types, each with its Cloud Adoption Framework abbreviation. - Live validation against each type's real Azure rules: length, character set, case, start and end constraints, and global-uniqueness scope, with a plain reason for every issue. - A governance tag editor with suggested keys. - One-click export to a name and tag table, an Azure CLI `--tags` string, a Bicep tags block, a Terraform tags block, or JSON. Privacy, by design: - Everything you enter stays in your browser. Namesmith makes no network requests and keeps no account. - It asks for a single permission, local storage, used only to save your naming project so it survives closing the tab. - No Azure account, subscription id or secret is requested or stored. The names and tags are drafts for you to review, not live Azure state. Abbreviations follow Microsoft's Cloud Adoption Framework naming recommendation.
