Can Azure Storage Tasks creation be automated?

Question

Hello,

I need to run rehydration on 2Pb of data spanning over 9months. Ive been oriented to Azure Storage Tasks, but I would like to run the rehydration on weekly or monthly basis.

Is there a way to automate the actual creation of the Azura Storage Tasks?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Marija Kirandjiska,

Yes, you can automate the creation of Azure Storage Tasks to run rehydration on a weekly or monthly basis. Azure Storage Tasks can be scheduled and managed using Azure Logic Apps or Azure Automation. I Suggest few steps to automate the creation and scheduling of Azure Storage Tasks:

Create a Storage Task: In the Azure portal, search for " Storage Tasks " and select "Create".Provide the necessary details such as subscription, resource group, and task name.

On the Conditions tab, specify the conditions that must be met by each object (container or blob).Define the operations to perform on the objects that meet the conditions.

Use Azure Logic Apps to create a workflow that triggers the storage task on a predefined schedule (weekly or monthly).You can set the interval and frequency for the task to run automatically.

Review the task's history, including run status, inputs, and outputs.

Edit the task if needed to update the workflow or conditions
