Custom naming convention for AKS resources
Is there a way we can alter the resource names of the resources provisioned by AKS itself (screenshot below). I know I can change the node resource group name as per the documentation but cannot find any reference (or documentation) if we can change the AKS managed resource names. The resources for which I want to have custom naming specifically are:
- Load balancer
- AKS Virtual Machine Scale Set

You cannot change the resource names of the resources provisioned by AKS itself. Because it is managed by AKS only. you can give your own name of node resource group at the time of creation using IAC tool like Terraform, Biceps etc. But you can’t change the node resource name of AKS once created.
From Portal you can not assign your own name of node_resource_group
Note : node_resource_group - (Optional) The name of the Resource Group where the Kubernetes Nodes should exist. Changing this forces a new resource to be created.
Azure requires that a new, non-existent Resource Group is used, as otherwise the provisioning of the Kubernetes Service will fail.
