Hello All,
I see that a new doc has been edited recently (end of aug 2016) that relates to naming conventions and restrictions. The article mentions this statement "while the name of a VM maps to a DNS name (and is thus required to be unique across all of Azure)". However this information pertains to the old classic model where VM was always provided with a DNS name. In the new RM model, a VM is never given a public DNS name (in fact it is property of public IP resource that is assigned to NIC). Is this is documentation bug?
The article also mentions that a VM name cannot be more than 15 characters long without any special characters. While this was true for classic model is this even true for new RM model? The reason I am asking is because these restrictions are there in the portal while the restrictions are not present while creating VM through power-shell. This has to be either a documentation bug or a PowerShell validation bug? Can someone from PG comment on these?
