Greetings! The error "AzureBlobFailedToCreateContainer" when attempting to connect Azure Data Factory (ADF) to Azure Blob Storage usually indicates a configuration issue. In this specific case, the problem arose because the storage account was deleted and recreated in a different resource group, and the configurations in ADF were not updated accordingly.
To resolve this issue:
- Check that the storage account and container names in the Azure portal match those specified in your ADF setup.
- Update the connection string in Azure Key Vault (AKV) to reflect the new storage account details.
- Make sure the managed private endpoint in ADF is configured correctly to connect to the new storage account.
- Re-test the connection from ADF to the Blob storage to ensure that all settings are correct.
For further guidance, you can consult the Azure documentation on Copy Activity in Azure Data Factory and Azure Storage connection troubleshooting.
Hope this helps. If you have any follow-up questions, please let me know. I would be happy to help.
