Terraform local 
locals {
  name = substr(lower(join("-", compact(["synw", var.workload, var.env, var.region, var.instance]))), 0, 50)
}

Azure Policy can't evaluate regular expressions, so a policy can check the synw prefix but not the full format. Run the regex in your pipeline, or audit existing names on a schedule.

Uniqueness scope

Globally unique across all of Azure — the name backs a public DNS label, so a clash with any other tenant's resource fails the deployment. Build in enough entropy (org/region/instance) to avoid collisions.
