@Sherwin Fernandes It seems like you are facing an issue while connecting to Azure Storage Account via Docker Container. The error message suggests that the SSL certificate is not valid.

One possible solution is to add the root certificate to the trusted root store of the container. You can do this by adding the following command to your Dockerfile:

RUN update-ca-certificates

This command will update the trusted root store of the container with the latest root certificates.

Another possible solution is to disable SSL verification in your code. However, this is not recommended as it can compromise the security of your application.

You can also try using a different image that has the necessary root certificates installed. You can search for such images on Docker Hub or other container registries.
