Sync data between Blob storage accounts in the different regions using java SDK

Question

I have a requirement where it is needed to sync data in Blob storage account across regions(Say between South-Central US region and West US region). azcopy this is command line utility, can this be achieved using java SDK to automate this process.

You can use Java SDK to copy data between storage accounts.

Please refer the sample code on how to copy data between storage accounts :

 try {
            BlobServiceClient blobServiceClient = new BlobServiceClientBuilder()
                    .endpoint("https://<>.blob.core.windows.net/" )
                    .credential(new DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder().build())
                    .buildClient();
            // get User Delegation Key
            OffsetDateTime delegationKeyStartTime = OffsetDateTime.now();
            OffsetDateTime delegationKeyExpiryTime = OffsetDateTime.now().plusDays(7);
            UserDelegationKey key =blobServiceClient.getUserDelegationKey(delegationKeyStartTime,delegationKeyExpiryTime);

            BlobContainerClient sourceContainerClient = blobServiceClient.getBlobContainerClient("test");
            BlobClient sourceBlob = sourceContainerClient.getBlobClient("test.mp3");
            // generate sas token
            OffsetDateTime expiryTime = OffsetDateTime.now().plusDays(1);
            BlobSasPermission permission = new BlobSasPermission().setReadPermission(true);

            BlobServiceSasSignatureValues myValues = new BlobServiceSasSignatureValues(expiryTime, permission)
                    .setStartTime(OffsetDateTime.now());
            String sas =sourceBlob.generateUserDelegationSas(myValues,key);

            // copy
            BlobServiceClient desServiceClient = new BlobServiceClientBuilder()
                    .endpoint("https://<>.blob.core.windows.net/" )
                    .credential(new DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder().build())
                    .buildClient();
            BlobContainerClient desContainerClient = blobServiceClient.getBlobContainerClient("test");
            String res =desContainerClient.getBlobClient("test.mp3")
                    .copyFromUrl(sourceBlob.getBlobUrl()+"?"+sas);
            System.out.println(res);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

Also, you can use azcopy to sync the data between storage accounts and you can automate this process creating a bat file and running bat file as cron jobs or task scheduler
