Hi, can I control the auto-naming at all?  When I create an azure Resource Group using C# it is taking the name (div-proj-rg) and appending the auto-name straight to it so I end up with div-proj-rgXYZ (where XYZ is the random part).  I'd like to force it to stick a - in so I get div-proj-rg-XYZ
Cheers

Hey <@U011DCUD4LU> 

This is something that can be controlled :) <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/programming-model/#names|https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/programming-model/#names>

Can you specify a trailing dash separator? I have put it in manually...

You would need to use a transformation for that as part of the resource 

Further down the same page you will see transformation docs

Thanks all I will take a look at the links

Hi Paul, I'm struggling to work out how to use the transformation to transform the physical resource name.  Do you have an example (or link to an example) that would work for a resource using C#?
