## Examples

::: example
### Adding Microsoft Azure Blob Folder

This example shows how to create a Microsoft Azure Blob folder that an Azure Blob object storage will use as a repository.

```
$account = Get-VBRAzureBlobAccount -Name "Azure Blob"
$connect = Connect-VBRAzureBlobService -Account $account -RegionType Global -ServiceType CapacityTier
$container = Get-VBRAzureBlobContainer -Connection $connect -Name "Container"
New-VBRAzureBlobFolder -Container $container -Connection $connect -Name "Images"
```

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`](get-vbrazureblobcontainer.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Connection` and the `Name` parameter values. Save the result to the `$container` variable.
4. Run the `New-VBRAzureBlobFolder` cmdlet. Set the `$container` variable as the `Container` parameter value. Set the `$connect` variable as the `Connection` parameter value. Specify the `Name` parameter value.
