Naming Queues

Naming Queues


Queues are organized by storage account. A URI to refer to a queue includes the account name and the queue name, as follows:
Copy Code

http://myaccount.queue.core.windows.net/queue

The URI to reference a queue must be unique. Because every account name is unique, two accounts can have queues with the same name. However, within an account, every queue must have a unique name.

The queue name must be a valid DNS name, conforming to the following naming rules:

   1. A queue name must start with a letter or number, and may contain only letters, numbers and the dash (-) character.
   2. The first and last letters in the queue name must be alphanumeric. The dash (-) character may not be the first or last letter.
   3. All letters in a queue name must be lowercase.
   4. A queue name must be from 3 through 63 characters long.
