## Examples

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

This example shows how to get all containers added to Microsoft Azure Blob storage. The cmdlet will return an array of containers added to the `Global` region type.

```
$account = Get-VBRAzureBlobAccount -Name "Azure Blob"
$connect = Connect-VBRAzureBlobService -Account $account -RegionType Global -ServiceType ExternalRepository
Get-VBRAzureBlobContainer -Connection $connect
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRAzureBlobAccount`](get-vbrazureblobaccount.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$account` variable.
2. Run the [`Connect-VBRAzureBlobService`](connect-vbrazureblobservice.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Account`, `RegionType` and the `ServiceType` parameter values. Save the result to the `$connect` variable.
3. Run the `Get-VBRAzureBlobContainer` cmdlet. Set the `$connect` variable as the `Connection` parameter value.
