I am trying to deploy my static website to blob storage in azure with azure DevOps, but I am getting this error. In my pipeline, I am using grunt build to build, and archive it to zip, then publishing to the azure pipeline, then in the release, I am extracting files, and trying to upload these files with azure CLI task.

I am using following command az storage blob upload-batch --account-name something --account-key something --destination ‘$web’ --source ./

My Container name is $web

probably your blob\container name contain capital letters or dashes or something similar, you are only allowed to use [a-z0-9] in your storage\container\blob names — 4c74356b41
I have enabled static web site in an azure storage account, afterward, $web container automatically created in containers. I am only providing '$web' destination in CLI command, I have checked it, I didn't use _ or capitals characters — Mahesh Kumar
I am getting the same error to read Azure File Storage or File Containers from Logic APP. Please let me know if anyone has a solution to that. — Riddhi Sanyal

I solved this problem by removing apostrophes around container name: az storage blob upload-batch --account-name something --account-key something --destination $web --source ./
