Name availability checking against Azure tenant #25

Closed captainhook closed 9 months ago

captainhook commented 9 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It's possible that users generate a name but do not use it and therefore the next time a resource name is generated it will increment to the next available name.

Describe the solution you'd like AzureNamingTool should scan the Azure tenant to see whether the name is taken and avoid incrementing.

Describe alternatives you've considered We could do a regular scan against our Azure tenant and then delete unused names using the AzureNamingTool.

Additional context I can imagine this introducing a problem/conflict in a heavy traffic environment where the tool is being used regularly.

Hello @captainhook,

Thank you for your suggestion. The Azure Naming Tool currently does not have any connectivity/communication back to the Azure tenant. This is to simplify the security and to ensure the tool is 100% self-contained and able to be run when there is no internet connectivity. We have Azure-integration as part of our backlog and will evaluate adding this in a future release.

Thank you!
