I am trying to copy all files from one container to another. I am using AzCopy to accomplish this task.
AzCopy command as below:
azcopy copy "https://xxxxxxx.blob.core.windows.net/customers" "https://xxxxxxx.blob.core.windows.net/archive" --recursive
Error:
Alternatively is it possible to Move files between containers?
Please follow this doc to grant your user account the RBAC role Storage Blob Data Contributor in your account or your containers.
Besides, there isn't a "move" operation for Azure Blob Storage, you need to delete the original container after copying it.

I’m trying to build a CICD pipeline. I want to copy my new static React build bundle to Azure blob storage. As part of this, the old content needs to be deleted. The only action I seem able to take, however, is copy. Is it possible to do this?
It's is not possible to delete/clean up the blob content using Azure File Copy.
You can use Azure CLI task to invoke the az cmdlets to clean up your container before running the Azure File Copy task.
az storage blob delete-batch --account-name <storage_account_name> --source <container_name>
i am writing az copy script which captures linux 18.04 system log using azcopy and store it into storage account container, but this whole steps I am doing with terraform automation. i have created machine code and I integrate shell script file with terraform extension.
so the issue is when azcopy copy the file from system and pass to a storage account need azcopy login to authenticate this process but these steps we can't perform through automation.
using following azcopy script and version is v10 please help me on this
AzCopy /Source:/var/log/syslog/Dest:https://testingwt.blob.core.windows.net/insights-operational-logs//SourceKey:y/bUACOu/wogikUT1EG0XeaPC4Y6spHcZly2d26QeENKwMiRpjFu5PwmXrThRbNGS3PiPfqEX8WsYC3dg== /S
updated error of azcopy using linux machine in azure
To upload files to the Storage Blob with a shell script automatically, you can use the SAS token of the storage, or use the azcopy login with a service principal or the VM managed identity.
For the SAS token:
azcopy copy "/path/to/file" "https://account.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer1/?sv=2018-03-28&ss=bjqt&srt=sco&sp=rwddgcup&se=2019-05-01T05:01:17Z&st=2019-04-30T21:01:17Z&spr=https&sig=MGCXiyEzbtttkr3ewJIh2AR8KrghSy1DGM9ovN734bQF4%3D" --recursive=true
For the Service Principal, you need to set the environment variable AZCOPY_SPA_CLIENT_SECRET with the secret of the service principal as value and assign the role Storage Blob Data Contributor or role Storage Blob Data Owner of the storage Blob:
azcopy login --service-principal --application-id <application-id> --tenant-id=<tenant-id>
azcopy copy "/path/to/file" "https://account.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer1/" --recursive=true
For the VM managed identity, you need also to assign the VM managed identity with the role Storage Blob Data Contributor or role Storage Blob Data Owner of the storage Blob:
azcopy login --identity
azcopy copy "/path/to/file" "https://account.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer1/" --recursive=true
But when you use the VM managed identity, you need to execute the shell script in the Azure VM, it means you need to deploy the Terraform in the Azure VM. So the best way is that use a service principal, you can execute the shell script in other Linux OS, for example, your local Linux machine. The SAS token is also a good way without assigning the role. For more details, see the Use Azcopy for the Azure Storage Blob.
Am new to this and am trying to do something which I think is relatively simple.
I download a file from a URL to my Azure VM using wget (its a large file and I don't want to store it locally). I want to now copy this file to an existing container in blob storage. This is completely defeating me.
It's a single line command in the aws universe
aws s3 sync <file_name> s3://<bucket name>
is there an equivalent in azure?
There are a bunch of ways by you can accomplish this and you don't even have to download this large file on your local computer first and then upload in blob storage.
For example, you can use az storage blob copy command which is part of Azure CLI tools, to do so. Here's the sample command for that:
az storage blob copy start --account-key <your-azure-storage-account-key> --account-name <your-azure-storage-account-name> --destination-blob <name-of-the-blob> --destination-container <name-of-the-container> --source-uri <uri-of-the-file>
You can also accomplish the same using azcopy utility or Azure PowerShell Storage Cmdlets. The Cmdlet you would want to use is Start-AzStorageBlobCopy.
We use Azure CLI to write a script to delete a storage account container's content and upload the contents of a directory to container
az storage blob delete-batch --account-name $ACCOUNT_NAME --source $web
az storage blob upload-batch --account-name $ACCOUNT_NAME -s $SOURCE_PATH -d $web
Now, we want to host the script on Azure. According to our search, we cannot directly host Azure CLI script on Azure and we must migrate the script to powershell. But we cannot find similar powershell commands. Could someone help me?
Current version of Azure PowerShell at the time of writing this answer is 3.1 (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/az.storage/?view=azps-3.1.0#storage) and unfortunately batch operations on blobs is not supported there.
Thus using Azure PowerShell Cmdlets is not possible as of version 3.1 to perform batch operations on blobs.
One option for you is to use Azure Storage Blobs Batch client library for .NET. You can write PowerShell script that makes use of this library to perform batch operations on blobs. You can find more information and code samples here: https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/blob/master/sdk/storage/Azure.Storage.Blobs.Batch/README.md.
Other option would be to consume REST API. Again, you can write PowerShell script that makes the HTTP requests to perform batch operations against your storage account. You can find more information about the REST API here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/storageservices/blob-batch.
P.S: I would've included the code but unfortunately my knowledge in PowerShell is very limited :).
I am trying to copy data from one azure blob location to another blob location using hadoop distcp command(running this in spark scala). from destination location, users will query the data. during copy transition, if users query the data maybe they will get duplicate data. so, I can acquire lock on azure destination location. is there any fastest way/best way to copy data with transaction.
I recommend you to use AzCopy.
1.Copy a single blob from one container to another within the same storage account
AzCopy /Source:https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer1 /Dest:https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer2 /SourceKey:key /DestKey:key /Pattern:abc.txt
2.Copy a single blob from one storage account to another
AzCopy /Source:https://sourceaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer1 /Dest:https://destaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer2 /SourceKey:key1 /DestKey:key2 /Pattern:abc.txt
3.Copy all blobs in a container to another storage account
AzCopy /Source:https://sourceaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer1
/Dest:https://destaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer2 /SourceKey:key1 /DestKey:key2 /S
