Sometimes structured storage isn't really what you're after. Sometimes, you just want to throw a blob of bytes into the cloud and call it a day. For these times, Pipeworks provides commands to interact with Azure Blob Storage. To run this demo yourself, you need to use Add-SecureSetting to set up your access keys first. Let's start off by enumerating all blobs: #> Get-Blob -StorageAccount (Get-SecureSetting AzureStorageAccountName -ValueOnly) -StorageKey (Get-SecureSetting AzureStorageAccountKey -ValueOnly) <# Now let's thru some files in a new container: -Public makes the container public #> Get-Module Pipeworks | Split-Path | Join-Path -ChildPath en-us | Get-ChildItem | Export-Blob -Container PipeworksDemos -Public <# To list items in the container, we use Get-Blob again #> Get-Blob -Container PipeworksDemos <# Let's open up a random on in the browser #> Get-Blob -Container PipeworksDemos | Get-Random | Foreach-Object { Start-Process -FilePath $_.Url } <# To import the data in the blob, you can either pipe container results of Get-Blob back to Get-Blob (which will return the data and the URL and modification time), or you can use Import-Blob #> # Return the blob and containing data Get-Blob -Container PipeworksDemos | Select-Object -First 1 | Get-Blob # Just import the data Get-Blob -Container PipeworksDemos | Select-Object -First 1 | Import-Blob <# To remove items from blob storage, we can use Remove-Blob #> Get-Blob -Container PipeworksDemos | Select-Object -First 1 | Remove-Blob -Confirm:$false <# We can also remove the whole container: #> Remove-Blob -Container PipeworksDemos -Confirm:$false |
