Interact with Azure blob storage using PowerShell

Q. How can I interact with Azure blob storage using PowerShell?

A. Azure block blobs enable pretty much anything to be stored, for example a media file, document. You can upload and download data using REST APIs, CLI, graphical tools like Azure Storage Explorer and PowerShell.

The PowerShell below is a simple demo that creates a new container and then uploads an image.

$StrContext = New-AzureStorageContext -ConnectionString ""#Blobs$StrContainer = 'images'#Create a new continaerNew-AzureStorageContainer -Context $StrContext -Name $StrContainer #Upload all items from a path to the containerGet-ChildItem –Path C:UsersjosaviOneDriveDocumentsTestPictures* | Set-AzureStorageBlobContent -Context $StrContext -Container $StrContainer#BrowseGet-AzureStorageBlob -Context $StrContext -Container $StrContainer#Download with Get-AzureStorageBlob ... | Get-AzureStorageBlobContent -Destination  -Context $StrContext#Remove the contentGet-AzureStorageBlob -Context $StrContext -Container $StrContainer | Remove-AzureStorageBlob -Context $StrContext#Remove the containerRemove-AzureStorageContainer -Context $StrContext -Name $StrContainer
