Description

Possibly make this configurable via the workload spec?

Basically, we need to have the parts be interchangeable.

Default something like:
-<business unit/dept>-<workload/app/project>---
Example: rsg-ptd-customer1-dev-usw1-01
(Or put ptd in a tag or something, owner: ptd)

And then for each workload possibly we allow the customer to dictate the order of all of those components. This will at least get us close to most naming policies I think.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the workload spec, which the issue identifies as the possible configuration entry point, and compare the linked Azure naming guidance. Define the default component order and determine how workloads can make those components interchangeable. Done means the naming policy supports the stated default and workload-specific ordering, with the Azure naming requirements addressed.
