Hey there!
Can you clarify what service you are using to run this container? If you are referring to an App Platform container, you can rename a container by downloading and editing the components name in your app spec. You would then re-upload that edited app spec to update the components name.

Hi there,
In addition to what has already been mentioned, in case that you are referring to Docker, you could rename a container using the following command:
sudo docker rename old_name new_name
