How to Copy data from Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Storage to Microsoft Azure Storage Block Blob
@20aman Mar 25, 2021Copying from Google Cloud to Microsoft Azure has been a challenge that Microsoft has addressed in the latest release of AzCopy. Via the latest release i.e. v10.9.0, Microsoft has brought the capabilities importing from Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Storage to Microsoft Azure Storage Block Blob. Additionally, this latest release will also have support for scanning logs that can have low or high output based on the requirements. Tags will be preserved when copying the blobs and the list command will include "Last Modified Time" related information.
General syntax to copy is as shown below:
azcopy copy 'https://storage.cloud.google.com/<bucket-name>/<object-name>' 'https://<storage-account-name>.blob.core.windows.net/<container-name>/<blob-name>'
An example is as below:
azcopy copy 'https://storage.cloud.google.com/mybucket/myobject' 'https://mystorageaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/myblob'
