DESCRIPTION

The New-AzureStorageContext cmdlet creates an Azure Storage context.

EXAMPLES

Example 1: Create a context by specifying a storage account name and key

C:\PS>New-AzureStorageContext -StorageAccountName "ContosoGeneral" -StorageAccountKey "< Storage Key for ContosoGeneral ends with == >"

This command creates a context for the account named ContosoGeneral that uses the specified key.

Example 2: Create a context by specifying a connection string

C:\PS>New-AzureStorageContext -ConnectionString "DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=ContosoGeneral;AccountKey=< Storage Key for ContosoGeneral ends with == >;"

This command creates a context based on the specified connection string for the account ContosoGeneral.

Example 3: Create a context for an anonymous storage account

C:\PS>New-AzureStorageContext -StorageAccountName "ContosoGeneral" -Anonymous -Protocol "http"

This command creates a context for anonymous use for the account named ContosoGeneral. The command specifies HTTP as a connection protocol.

Example 4: Create a context by using the local development storage account

C:\PS>New-AzureStorageContext -Local

This command creates a context by using the local development storage account. The command specifies the Local parameter.

Example 5: Get the container for the local developer storage account

C:\PS>New-AzureStorageContext -Local | Get-AzureStorageContainer

This command creates a context by using the local development storage account, and then passes the new context to the Get-AzureStorageContainer cmdlet by using the pipeline operator. The command gets the Azure Storage container for the local developer storage account.

Example 6: Get multiple containers

C:\PS>$Context01 = New-AzureStorageContext -Local 
PS C:\> $Context02 = New-AzureStorageContext -StorageAccountName "ContosoGeneral" -StorageAccountKey "< Storage Key for ContosoGeneral ends with == >"
PS C:\> ($Context01, $Context02) | Get-AzureStorageContainer

The first command creates a context by using the local development storage account, and then stores that context in the $Context01 variable. The second command creates a context for the account named ContosoGeneral that uses the specified key, and then stores that context in the $Context02 variable. The final command gets the containers for the contexts stored in $Context01 and $Context02 by using Get-AzureStorageContainer.

Example 7: Create a context with an endpoint

C:\PS>New-AzureStorageContext -StorageAccountName "ContosoGeneral" -StorageAccountKey "< Storage Key for ContosoGeneral ends with == >" -Endpoint "contosoaccount.core.windows.net"

This command creates an Azure Storage context that has the specified storage endpoint. The command creates the context for the account named ContosoGeneral that uses the specified key.

Example 8: Create a context with a specified environment

C:\PS>New-AzureStorageContext -StorageAccountName "ContosoGeneral" -StorageAccountKey "< Storage Key for ContosoGeneral ends with == >" -Environment "AzureChinaCloud"

This command creates an Azure storage context that has the specified Azure environment. The command creates the context for the account named ContosoGeneral that uses the specified key.

Example 9: Create a context by using an SAS token

C:\PS>$SasToken = New-AzureStorageContainerSASToken -Name "ContosoMain" -Permission "rad"
PS C:\> $Context = New-AzureStorageContext -StorageAccountName "ContosoGeneral" -SasToken $SasToken
PS C:\> $Context | Get-AzureStorageBlob -Container "ContosoMain"

The first command generates an SAS token by using the New-AzureStorageContainerSASToken cmdlet for the container named ContosoMain, and then stores that token in the $SasToken variable. That token is for read, add, update, and delete permissions. The second command creates a context for the account named ContosoGeneral that uses the SAS token stored in $SasToken, and then stores that context in the $Context variable. The final command lists all the blobs associated with the container named ContosoMain by using the context stored in $Context.

Example 10: Create a context by using the OAuth Authentication

C:\PS>Connect-AzureRmAccount
C:\PS> $Context = New-AzureStorageContext -StorageAccountName "myaccountname" -UseConnectedAccount

This command creates a context by using the OAuth Authentication.
