Application Scenarios

After a company migrates to the cloud, the number of resources created on the cloud keeps increasing. Some large enterprises may have hundreds of thousands or millions of resources. They need to standardized resource naming for effective resource governance.

Huawei Cloud recommends that you formulate unified resource naming rules to categorize resources by cloud service type and resource tag. For example:

All IAM user names must start with hw_user_.
All ECSs that are tagged by prod must have "Do-Not-Delete" in their names.

Solution

Name resources in compliance with a convention to facilitate routine resource management.

Rule Logic

If the name of a resource does not match the naming convention represented by the specified regular expression, the resource is non-compliant.
If the name of a resource matches the naming convention represented by the specified regular expression, the resource is compliant.
