Many 4 character storage containers being created in my storage account


I have an Azure storage account.

For a while now, something has been creating 4 character empty containers as shown here, there are hundreds of them:

enter image description here

This storage account is used by:

  • Function Apps
  • Document Db (Cosmos)
  • Terraform State
  • Container Registry for Docker images

It's not a big deal but I don't want millions of empty containers being created by an unknown process.

Note1: I have looked for any way to find more statistics / history of these folders but I cant find any

Note2: We don't have any custom code that creates storage containers in our release pipelines (ie... PowerShell or CLI)

thanks Russ


Solution

  • It seems the containers are used to store logs of Azure Function. I have a storage account just for azure function and web app. We could see it has the containers like yours via Storage Explorer.
