In this lesson, you will learn about various Azure tools that help you move or interact with individual files or small file groups. While services like Azure Migrate and Azure Data Box handle large-scale data migrations, these tools are designed for more granular file operations. The key tools you will explore are AzCopy, Azure Storage Explorer, and Azure File Sync.
AzCopy
AzCopy is a command-line utility that allows you to copy blobs or files to and from your Azure storage account. Here’s what you can do with AzCopy:
Azure Storage Explorer
Azure Storage Explorer is a standalone application with a graphical interface that simplifies managing files and blobs in your Azure Storage Account. It is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems and leverages AzCopy for file management tasks. With Azure Storage Explorer, you can:
Azure File Sync
Azure File Sync allows you to centralize your file shares in Azure Files while maintaining the flexibility, performance, and compatibility of a traditional Windows file server. Essentially, it transforms your Windows file server into a miniature content delivery network. Once Azure File Sync is installed on your local Windows server, it automatically stays bi-directionally synced with your files in Azure.
With Azure File Sync, you can:
By understanding and utilizing these tools, you can efficiently manage and move individual files or small file groups within your Azure environment, ensuring seamless integration and synchronization between your local and cloud storage.
