🔥 New Article:🔥 Enforcing Multiple Naming Conventions in Azure with One Policy! On my previous post about enforcing a naming convention using Azure Policy Kevin DELTEIL brought up a great scenario, what if you had two different naming conventions that you wanted to apply within the same subscription/resource groups? How can you do so without them conflicting with each other? I wrote an article addressing this scenario. Hope you all find it helpful! 🔎 The Challenge Azure Policy allows enforcing naming standards, but multiple deny policies conflict with each other. The goal was to support two formats for Virtual Machines, for example: 1️⃣ vm-sml1-???-....-### 2️⃣ vm-sml1-project-???-....-### Solution? A single policy that checks if a VM name matches at least one of these formats. If neither matches, 🚫 creation is denied! 🔧 How It Works: ✔ Applies only to Virtual Machines (Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines) ✔ Uses notMatch logic to enforce at least one valid pattern ✔ Denies VM names that don’t meet either convention ✔ Ensures naming governance without flexibility loss 👉 Check out my full X article for the JSON policy and implementation details! 👇 #Azure #AzurePolicy #CloudGovernance #AzureNaming #MicrosoftAzure #CloudCompliance #AzureBestPractices #DevOps #InfrastructureAsCode #ITGovernance #Microsoft #MicrosoftCloud #AzureTips

@sbworld 🤣 yes, quite annoying indeed!

It depends on your interest as there are many areas of focus people are willing to hire for as Azure as a platform is quite extensive here are some areas people hire for and related resources and certifications you'd probably want to look at: Virtual Infrastructure – VMs, Networking, Storage (AZ-104, AZ-305) Automation – PowerShell, Terraform, Azure Functions (AZ-400) Security – Azure AD, Defender, Sentinel (AZ-500) DevOps – Azure DevOps, CI/CD, Kubernetes (AZ-400) Networking – VNETs, VPN, Load Balancers (AZ-700) Data & AI – Azure SQL, Synapse, ML (DP-203, AI-102) Solutions Architecture – Cloud strategy, DR, Cost Mgmt (AZ-305)
