Description

Workloads that utilize larger file sizes such as backups, media, and seismic analysis can now utilize Azure Blob storage and ADLS Gen2 without breaking these large files into separate blobs.

Each blob is made up of up to 50,000 blocks.  Each block can now be 4GB in size for a total of 200 TB per blob or ADLS Gen2 file.
