$Keys = "Coro2SvGOTD+nT3YdaKCrnauzWvHMF6BmuD9PfSKtNJWt6etXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX=="
$StorageContext = New-AzureStorageContext -StorageAccountName sqlvaqrc7kssdx4eus -StorageAccountKey $Keys
$containerName = "democontainer";
Set-AzStorageBlobContent -File "D:\Bijay\Upload9.txt" `
  -Container $containerName `
  -Blob "Upload9.txt" `
  -Context $StorageContext
