Managing blobs in Azure Storage using PowerShell

In this recipe, we'll learn to perform various management tasks on an Azure blob. We'll copy blobs between containers, list all blobs in a container, modify a blob access tier, download blobs from Microsoft Azure to a local system, and delete a blob from Azure Storage.

Getting ready

Before you start, perform the following steps:

1. Make sure you have an existing Azure storage account. If not, create one by following the Provisioning an Azure storage account using PowerShell recipe.
2. Make sure you have an existing Azure storage container. If not, create one by following the Creating containers and uploading files to Azure Blob storage using PowerShell recipe.
3. Log in to your Azure subscription in PowerShell. To log in, run the Connect-AzAccount command in a new PowerShell window and follow the instructions.

How to do it…

Let's begin by copying blobs between containers.
