Change tier in bulk for Azure blob storage

I have some thousands of blobs with a given suffix I want to assign to a new tier (hot to archive) in bulk. I know it is possible to manually change the tier on portal or through a REST request pointing to a specific blob. Is there a way to set tiers in bulk with a wildcard or something similar?

It's really as simple as 3 lines.

#Get stroage account 
$straccount = Get-AzureRmStorageAccount -Name xxxxxx -ResourceGroupName xxxxxxxxxxxxx

#Get all the blobs in container
$blobs = Get-AzureStorageBlob -Container test -Context $straccount.Context

#Set tier of all the blobs to Archive
$blobs.icloudblob.setstandardblobtier("Archive")

Just make sure the container only have block blob or you will get error. Last i checked Archive tier is only support by block blob.

Hope this helps.
