Looking for techniques to add suffix to resources to make their name unique

I am creatig a few azure resources (Such as storage accounts) that their name must be unique accross Azure.

Is there any technique in Terraform scripting that allows adding a random string to the end of resources so their name become uniqu accorss Azure?

What is the common pattern to deal with this requirement?

If you are using Azure there is a really descent Naming module. It helps with consistent and randomized naming. You can reference it here.

Sure yes, you can create resource random_string and use in in names:

resource "random_string" "random" {
  length = 16
  special = true
  override_special = "/@£$"
}

resource "aws_ecr_repository" "foo" {
  name                 = "bar-${random_string.random.result}"
  ...
}
