AzCopy (devops pipeline)is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program

Question

I have a PowerShell script that works all the time when I use from my local machine (I have azCopy installed):

AzCopy `
/Source:C:\myfolder `
/Dest:https://mystorageaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mystoragecontainer `
/DestKey:<storage-account-access-key> `
/Pattern:"myfile.txt"

Using azure pipeline (Microsoft Hosted agent) this script fails with

"AzCopy.exe : The term 'AzCopy.exe' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program."

I have tried different agents but still the same error. Which agent I must use to use azCopy?

Am I missing the obvious?

Is there another way of doing this always using powershell?

Answer 1

To copy files to Azure with AzCpoy you can use build-in task Azure File Copy, you not need use PowerShell:

In addition, you can install the Microsoft Azure Build and Release Tasks extension that give you another task "Azure Copy File Extended" with more options.
