Answer 1

Retrieve blob information using the Get-AzureStorageBlob cmdlet and select the AbsoluteUri:

(Get-AzureStorageBlob -blob 'StarterSite.zip' -Container 'clouddata ').ICloudBlob.uri.AbsoluteUri

How did you find this? Looking at the object/properties returned from Get-AzureStorageBlob, I had no indication there was more info available. – Snipes

@Snipes At the bottom in the documentation (learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/azure.storage/…) you see the output of the cmdlet – Rocray

Answer 2

Another option: just capture the result of Set-AzureStorageBlobContent

$result = Set-AzureStorageBlobContent -File C:\Package\StarterSite.zip
$blobUri = $result.ICloudBlob.Uri.AbsoluteUri

It's not necessary to call Get-AzureStorageBlob after calling Set-AzureStorageBlobContent.

Set-AzureStorageBlobContent returns the same object type that Get-AzureStorageBlob returns.

More details

The output type is AzureStorageBlob for both Get-AzureStorageBlob and Set-AzureStorageBlobContent

AzureStorageBlob has a ICloudBlob property

AzureStorageBlob.ICloudBlob getter returns a CloudBlob which has the Uri property
