Azure blob version retention details using PowerShell

Question

I am trying to find all blob versions in a container with its retention period. Basically we want to get this data to see what can be deleted from blob versions. I can see retention period of versions in Azure portal but not in PowerShell. I am trying below script. Can someone please guide me how can I get the same details using PowerShell?

Connect-AzAccount

Set-AzContext -Subscription "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

$resourceGroup = "rg-dev-001"
$storageAccountName = "stdev"
$containerName = "offload"

$stoaccount = Get-AzStorageAccount -Name $storageAccountName -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroup

$versions = Get-AzStorageBlob -Container $containerName -Context $stoaccount.Context -IncludeVersion -IncludeDeleted | where { $_.IsLatestVersion -NE 'True' }

Answer 1

I can see the retention period of versions in the Azure portal but not in PowerShell.

In my environment, I have a file with a retention period and another file that doesn't have a retention period.

Portal:

You can use the below PowerShell script to retrieve information.

Command:

Connect-AzAccount

Set-AzContext -Subscription "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

$resourceGroup = "rg-dev-001"
$storageAccountName = "stdev"
$containerName = "offload"

$stoaccount = Get-AzStorageAccount -Name $storageAccountName -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroup

$versions = Get-AzStorageBlob -Container $containerName -Context $stoaccount.Context -IncludeVersion -IncludeDeleted 

Foreach($version in $versions){
   $properties = $version.BlobClient.GetProperties()
   Write-Host "URL: $($version.Context.BlobEndPoint)$($version.Container.Name)/$($version.Name)"
   Write-Host "TYPE: $($properties.Value.BlobType)"
   Write-Host "SIZE: $($properties.Value.ContentLength / 1KB) KiB"
   Write-Host "VERSION ID: $($properties.Value.VersionId)"
   Write-Host "RETENTION PERIOD: $($properties.Value.ImmutabilityPolicy.ExpiresOn)"
   write-Host " "
   }

Output:
