Describe the bug
With only 4 hexadecimal digits to create uniqueness, storage account names are seeing increasing collisions.
Steps to reproduce
Azure TRE release version (e.g. v0.14.0 or main): any
Deployed Azure TRE components - click the (i) in the UI: n/a
Additional entropy can be added by including the TRE ID in the storage account name:
stgws<tre_id>ws<ws_short_id>
This would be maximally 5 + 12 + 2 + 4 = 23 characters, which is within the limits of storage account names (24 characters).
This method would avoid adding randomness to ensure that services that need to leverage the storage account can deterministically create the name.
