Error with BlobContainerClient.CreateIfNotExists()

Mohan Raju 0

I'm encountering an error while attempting to create a container with the following code:

Uri accountUri = new Uri(containerEndpoint);

BlobServiceClient serviceClient = new BlobServiceClient(accountUri, new DefaultAzureCredential());

BlobContainerClient containerClient = serviceClient.GetBlobContainerClient(providerToUse.ContainerName);

containerClient.CreateIfNotExists();

How can I resolve this exception?

Hello Mohan Raju,

Greetings! Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform.

I understand that you are facing issues in creating a container and please refer this document here- https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/storage-quickstart-blobs-python?tabs=environment-variable-windows#create-a-container

Can you try using the code provided here and see if this helps? Please let me know.

Ensure that container Endpoint is a valid URI and that DefaultAzureCredential is correctly configured to authenticate with your Azure account.

Make sure the identity used by DefaultAzureCredential has the necessary permissions to create a container in the specified storage account.

Can you confirm if you have any kind of Private endpoints configured on the storage account? if yes, can you attempt to remove that and then test this again. This shall help with the isolation as it appears to be more likely related to Network configuration.

If the problem persists, please share the specific exception message you’re encountering to further investigate.
