# General Concept

### Structure

In order to be able to standardize environments, naming is incredibly important. To provide a similar experience for admin users and automation this structure can be followed. It should be as compliant with the Microsoft recommendations as possible. Abbreviations are based on Microsoft best practices: [Abbreviation recommendations for Azure resources - Cloud Adoption Framework | Microsoft Learn](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-adoption-framework/ready/azure-best-practices/resource-abbreviations)

The following contents must be included in the name of an entity:

- Object entity (Microsoft Entra ID Group, Intune Configuration Profile, Microsoft Entra ID Administrative Unit, AD Group, etc.)
- Affected Technology (Azure Virtual Desktop, Cloud PC, Modern Workplace, etc.)
- CompanyTag(ELB, PRD, DEV, ALL, etc.)
- Object type (USER, DEVICE, PERMISSION, ALL, etc.)
- Description of Environment in Pascal Case-Convention (I am doing something -> IAmDoingSomething)
- Production status (PROD, NONPROD, TODELETE, etc.)
- (Location)

Hyphen can be used to separate the entities.
