(Cross Post) Announcing general availability of soft delete for Azure Storage Blobs

Today we are excited to announce general availability of soft delete for Azure Storage Blobs! The feature is available in all regions for public, government and sovereign clouds.

When turned on, soft delete enables you to save and recover your data when blobs or blob snapshots are deleted. This protection extends to blob data that is erased as the result of an overwrite.

For more details on the feature, see the Microsoft Azure Blog and the complete soft delete documentation.
