Hi

Is there some way or script to search in your blob container which files are hot or cool to change the to archive?

I have thousand of folders and files and to make this work manually is a nightmare

Thanks

@Roberto Quintela Welcome to Microsoft Q&A, Thank you for posting your query!

This cmdlets provides details of the container:

Get-AzStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName "" -Name ""  
  
$ctx = New-AzStorageContext -StorageAccountName "" -StorageAccountKey rvm0vmuj58uO62WOsK  
Get-AzStorageContainer -Context $ctx  
  
$ContainerName = "test"  
  
Get-AzStorageBlob -Container $ContainerName -context $ctx  

The following PowerShell script can be used to change the blob tier of an archive blob. The $rgName variable must be initialized with your resource group name. The $accountName variable must be initialized with your storage account name. The $containerName variable must be initialized with your container name. The $blobName variable must be initialized with your blob name.

#Initialize the following with your resource group, storage account, container, and blob names  
$rgName = ""  
$accountName = ""  
$containerName = ""  
# If required $blobName = ""  
  
#Select the storage account and get the context  
$storageAccount =Get-AzStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName $rgName -Name $accountName  
$ctx = $storageAccount.Context  
  
#Select the blob from a container  
$blob = Get-AzStorageBlob -Container $containerName -Context $ctx  
  
#Change the blob’s access tier to Hot using Standard priority rehydrate  
$blob.ICloudBlob.SetStandardBlobTier("cool", "Standard")  

Hope this helps!
