Is it possible to enforce a required resource naming convention using a RegEx from an Azure Policy.

Answer 1

@Sai Kiran Maturi

Thanks for using Microsoft Q&A !!

No, it is not possible to enforce a required resource naming convention using regex from an Azure policy. You can use the existing Logical Operators(not, allOf,anyOf) along with supported conditions to achieve a certain level of resource naming validations however complex one using regex is not supported. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks Saurabh

Answer 2

regex is not supported yet, but with match you can define placeholders

When using the match and notMatch conditions, provide a hashtag (#) to match a digit, question mark (?) for a letter, and a dot (.) to match any character, and any other character to match that actual character. While match and notMatch are case-sensitive, all other conditions that evaluate a stringValue are case-insensitive. Case-insensitive alternatives are available in matchInsensitively and notMatchInsensitively.
