MS Azure Cloud Solutions Blog: Function to Zip log files

Below Functions will help you to organize your scripts. First function will create reporting folder to store all script related reports. Second function will zip files within report folder and archive them. When zipping files it will put a time stamp and if there is no file to zip it will stop. I have built a filter to collect desired file types, which can easily be modified if desired. Keep scripting and stay organized.
