## Examples

::: example
### Example 1: Getting All Microsoft Azure Blob Containers

This example shows how to get all containers added to Microsoft Azure Blob Storage.

```
$account = Get-VBOAzureBlobAccount -Id 133dae61-cfce-4fe0-8f8d-cbe52bd5612a
$connection = New-VBOAzureBlobConnectionSettings -Account $account -RegionType Global
Get-VBOAzureBlobContainer -ConnectionSettings $connection
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBOAzureBlobAccount`](get-vboazureblobaccount.md) cmdlet. Save the result to the `$account` variable.
2. Run the [`New-VBOAzureBlobConnectionSettings`](new-vboazureblobconnectionsettings.md) cmdlet. Set the `$account` variable as the `Account` parameter value. Specify the `RegionType` parameter value. Save the result to the `$connection` variable.
3. Run the `Get-VBOAzureBlobContainer` cmdlet. Set the `$connection` variable as the `ConnectionSettings` parameter value.
