use Azure PowerShell to login Azure with service principal
You can use the following script
$appId = "your application id "
$password = "your application secret"
$secpasswd = ConvertTo-SecureString $password -AsPlainText -Force
$mycreds = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ($appId, $secpasswd)
Add-AzureRmAccount -Credential $mycreds -Tenant "your tenat id" -ServicePrincipal
I can use Azure CLI command "az storage blob upload-batch" to upload a
local directory to Azure storage. How to implement it with Azure
PowerShell
Azure PowerShell does not provide the command like that. It just provides the command Set-AzureStorageBlobContent to allow customers to upload file to Azure storage. So you need to write a script with the command to implement how to upload a directory to Azure storage. For example
$StorageAccountKey=" "
$sourceFileRootDirectory=" "
$StorageAccountName=" "
$ContainerName=" "
$ctx = New-AzureStorageContext -StorageAccountName $StorageAccountName -StorageAccountKey $StorageAccountKey
$container = Get-AzureStorageContainer -Name $ContainerName -Context $ctx
if ($container) {
$filesToUpload = Get-ChildItem $sourceFileRootDirectory -Recurse -File
foreach ($x in $filesToUpload) {
$blobName = ($x.fullname.Substring($sourceFileRootDirectory.Length + 1)).Replace("\", "/")
Set-AzureStorageBlobContent -File $x.fullname -Container $container.Name -Blob $blobName -Context $ctx -Force:$Force
}
}
I can use Azure CLI command "az storage blob delete-batch" to clean up
a container. How to implement it with Azure
PowerShell
Azure PowerShell does not provide the command that we can use to directly delete all blob in one container. So we need to write a script to implement it. Now, we have two choices
- Delete the container and create a new container with the same name
$StorageAccountKey=" "
$StorageAccountName=" "
$ContainerName=" "
$context = New-AzureStorageContext -StorageAccountName $StorageAccountName -StorageAccountKey $StorageAccountKey
Remove-AzureStorageContainer -Name $ContainerName -Context $context
New-AzureStorageContainer -Name $ContainerName -Context $context
- Get all blobs in the container then delete them
$StorageAccountKey=" "
$StorageAccountName=" "
$ContainerName=" "
$Token = $null
$Total = 0
$MaxCount=5000
$context = New-AzureStorageContext -StorageAccountName $StorageAccountName -StorageAccountKey $StorageAccountKey
do
{
$Blobs = Get-AzureStorageBlob -Container $ContainerName -MaxCount $MaxCount -ContinuationToken $Token -Context $context
if($Blobs.Length -le 0) { Break;}
$Token = $Blobs[$blobs.Count -1].ContinuationToken;
foreach($blob in $blobs){
Remove-AzStorageBlob -Blob $blob.Name -Container $ContainerName -Context $context
}
}
While ($Token -ne $null)
