How to get list of Azure container files? - azure

Question

I'm working on PS script to list all Storage Accounts, which contains files with a modified date less than < X.
I'm able to list all SA containers, it's not a big deal but I'm not sure how to get further and list all files inside a particular container.
$storageAccCtx = (Get-AzStorageAccount -Name acc_name -ResourceGroupName acc_rg).Context
Get-AzStorageContainer -Context $storageAccCtx
I couldn't find any cmdlet for this.
Could anyone, please, advise what should I use next? Thanks.

Answer 1

Once you have the StorageContext, you can use this below Azure Storage Management Cmdlet to list all BlockBlob.
Get-AzStorageBlob -Container containerName -Context $storageAccCtx
To get list of all Azure Storage Management Cmdlet, please follow this documentation https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/az.storage/?view=azps-4.8.0

You can use Get-AzStorageBlob to list the blobs in a storage container, the cmdlet is documented here. In a script you could use this cmdlet as follows to return all the blobs older than a particular date:
$CutOffDate = Get-Date -Year 2020 -Month 10 -Day 19
$OldBlobs = #()
$StorageAccounts = Get-AzStorageAccount
foreach ($StorageAccount in $StorageAccounts) {
$Containers = Get-AzStorageContainer -Context $StorageAccount.Context
foreach ($Container in $Containers) {
$ContainerBlobs = Get-AzStorageBlob -Container $Container.Name -Context $StorageAccount.Context
$OldBlobs += $ContainerBlobs | Where-Object { $_.LastModified -lt $CutOffDate }
}
}
$OldBlobs
