Issue Description

Azure cloud operations using .NET gives the below error,

Azure.RequestFailedException :’The specified resource name contains invalid characters.’
Status: 400 (The specifed resource name contains invalid characters.)
ErrorCode: InvalidResourceName

Resolution

The issue might surfaced when you are dealing with the Azure Storage account or Blob operations on the data like upload or download of the data.

You might get this issue due to some other reason as well.

I was able to resolve the issue by following the Naming conventions which need to be used for Azure Storage Container Names and Blob Names.

• name must be lowercase.
• names must be > 3 character and < 63 characters.
• names must only contain letters, numbers, and if needed (-) character is allowed.

By following the above guidelines I was able to create a new container and was able to upload or download blog storage and was able to resolve the issue successfully.

That’s all! Happy coding!
