Object replication in public preview for Premium Block Blob Storage

Object replication now supports premium block blobs to replicate your data from your blob container in one storage account to another anywhere in Azure. 

Object replication unblocks a new set of common replication scenarios for premium block blobs: 

• Minimize latency – have your users consume the data locally rather than issuing cross-region read requests. 
• Increase efficiency – have your compute clusters process the same set of objects locally in different regions. 
• Optimize data distribution – have your data consolidated in a single location for processing/analytics and then distribute only resulting dashboards to your offices worldwide. 

 Please refer to Object Replication documentation for more details.
