Azure CLI Bash for windows platform

Copper Contributor

Hi All,

 

I am trying to copy blob data from one Azure Subscription to another Azure Subscription using Azure CLI Bash for windows.

I am able to set the below ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES successfully

Set AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT=<YourStorageAccount>

Set AZURE_STORAGE_ACCESS_KEY=<YourStorageAccessKey>

Issue 1:

However, when I am trying to create a container in the Azure Storage account as specified in the  AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT unable to do so using below command

az storage container create --name nyctaxi-staging

Meanwhile, Below command able to create container successfully by explicitly mentioning Azure Storage Account Name as an option

az storage container create --name nyctaxi-staging --account-name <YourStorageAccount>

 

Issue2: Unable to access the ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE values. Tried different option but none of the options are working

  • $AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT
  • ${AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT}
  • %AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT%

Please suggest how to get this resolved. Thanks

Regards

Hi, Vibhas. Did you get this sorted?

I recommend taking a look at AzCopy (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-use-azcopy-v10?WT.mc_id=AZ-MVP-5004796)
Which will help you transfer data across and to an Azure storage account.
