It's like AWS SKU naming (`c5d.metal`, `p5.48xlarge`, etc.), except non-technical consumers are expected to understand it.


Have you seen Azure VM SKU naming? It's.. impressive.


And it doesn’t even line up with the actual instances you’ll be offered. At one point I was using some random Nvidia A10 node that was supposed to be similar to Standard_NV36adms_A10_v5, but was an NC series for some reason with slightly different letters…


Those are not names but hashes used to look up the specs.


I was thinking we might treat model names analogously, but their specs can be moving targets.
