To complete these operations, you can execute the Azure CLI and PowerShell commands. You can also leverage direct REST calls. Those options are available but require tons of development time to code the operations you need. The better option is included in your project’s SDKs available for C#, Python, Java, Node.js, and many other popular platforms. The SDKs have already been tested by Microsoft and provide easy-to-adopt algorithms to implement main blob operations.
With SDKs, you can easily implement the container operations listed as follows:
