for BLOB in $BLOBS
do
 echo "$BLOB"
done

• List Array data and download to /mnt/d/test/

for BLOB in $BLOBS
do
 echo "Download: $BLOB"
 az storage blob download -n $BLOB -f /mnt/d/test/$BLOB -c ContainerName --account-name StorageAccountName --account-key xyz...==
done

• Delete BLOB

 az storage blob delete-batch --source ContainerName --pattern '*.gz' --account-name Storage-Account-Name --account-key xyz...==

SAS Keys

• Create SAS Token on BLOB

az storage blob generate-sas \
--account-name Storage-Account-Name \
--account-key xyz...== \
--container-name Container-Name \
--name file-Name \
--permissions acdrw \
--expiry 2021-01-18
