    Microsoft Azure - Blobs

    Previous PageNext Page


    Let us first understand what a Blob is. The word ‘Blob’ expands to Binary Large
    OBject. Blobs include images, text files, videos and audios. There are three types
    of blobs in the service offered by Windows Azure namely block, append and page
    blobs.

    Block blobs are collection of individual blocks with unique block ID. The block
    blobs allow the users to upload large amount of data.

    Append blobs are optimized blocks that helps in making the operations efficient.

    Page blobs are compilation of pages. They allow random read and write operations.
    While creating a blob, if the type is not specified they are set to block type by
    default.

    All the blobs must be inside a container in your storage. Here is how to create a
    container in Azure storage.

    Create a Container
    Step 1 − Go to Azure portal and then in your storage account.

    Step 2 − Create a container by clicking ‘Create new container’ as shown in


    following image.

    There are three options in the Access dropdown which sets the permission of who can
    access the blobs. ‘Private’ option will let only the account owner to access it.
    ‘Public Container’ will allow anonymous access to all the contents of that
    container. ‘Public blob’ option will set open access to blob but won’t allow access
    to the container.

    Upload a Blob using PowerShell


    Step 1 − Go to ‘Windows PowerShell’ in the taskbar and right-click. Choose ‘Run ISE
    as Administrator’.

    Step 2 − Following command will let you access your account. You have to change the
    fields highlighted in all the commands.

    $context = New-AzureStorageContext -StorageAccountName tutorialspoint


    StorageAccountKey

    Step 3 − Run the following command. This will get you the details of you Azure
    account. This will make sure that your subscription is all set.

    Get-AzureSubscription
    Step 4 − Run the following command to upload your file.

    Set-AzureStorageBlobContent -Blob Montiorlog.png -Container images -File


    "E:\MyPictures\MonitorLog.png" -Context $context -Force
    Upload a Blob using PowerShell
    Step 5 − To check if the file is uploaded, run the following command.

    Get-AzureStorageBlob -Container $ContainerName -Context $ctx | Select Name


    Download a Blob
    Step 1 − Set the directory where you want to download the file.

    $localTargetDirectory = "C:\Users\Sahil\Downloads"
    Step 2 − Download it.

    $BlobName = "Montiorlog.png" Get-AzureStorageBlobContent -Blob $BlobName


    Container $ContainerName -Destination $localTargetDirectory -Context $ctx
    Remember the following −

    All command names and file names are case sensitive.

    Commands should be in one line or should be continued in the next line by appending
    ` in the preceding line (`is continuation character in PowerShell)

    Manage Blobs using Azure Storage Explorer


    Managing blobs is pretty simple using ‘Azure Storage Explorer’ interface as it is
    just like Windows files and folder explorer. You can create a new container, upload
    blobs, see them in a listed format, and download them. Moreover, you can copy them
    to a secondary location in a very simple manner with this interface. The following
    image makes the process clear. As can be seen, once an account is added, we can
    select it from the dropdown and get going. It makes operating Azure storage very
    easy.
