Change Azure Portal Color Based on Resource Subscription
As an operations engineer, it is essential to keep track of the resources you are working on, especially when dealing with multiple environments such as development, testing, and production. This article will discuss how to change the Azure Portal color based on the subscription, making it easier to identify the resource you are working on and avoiding mistakes like changing settings on a production resource rather than a testing resource.
Naming Convention for Resources
To make it easier to identify resources, it is recommended to use a naming convention that includes the environment abbreviation. For example, a storage account for the development environment could be named "devstorageaccount01", and a storage account for the production environment could be named "prodstorageaccount01".
