Container names

When you create a container, you give it a name. The name you specify for a container must be from one through 63 characters long and can contain only alphanumeric characters and hyphens (-) but cannot start or end with a hyphen.

Container names cannot contain white space or special characters other than hyphens.

Container names are not case sensitive. However, if you will be accessing a container through an interface that does not automatically convert URLs to all lowercase, you should use lowercase for all letters in the container name.

Container names cannot start with xn-- (that is, the characters x and n followed by two hyphens).

The name you give a container must be unique for the tenant (account) for which you create the container. Different tenants can have containers with the same name.

You can reuse container names that are not currently in use. So, for example, if you delete a container, you can give a new container the same name as the deleted container had.

Tenant administrators can change the name of a container any time after you create the container. When the name of a container changes, the URL for the container changes as well.
