I have image files totalling ~50GB stored in Azure blob. Avg file size is ~4KB. I'm using azcopy to download these to my Ubuntu-based local environment.
Performance wise, downloading these files one by one - which is what azcopy is doing right now - is probably as slow as I can do this. Is there a better strategy?
Ideally, I want to be able to archive the files into a single file, and then transfer that. Is there any way to do that with azcopy on Ubuntu?
No, there isn't a way to do so. Not about AzCopy implementation, it's due to Azure Storage Service doesn't provide such API.
