To achieve this, a certain regular expressions that are used by some of the queries that run against the database to serve the required data are pre-compiled. This saves time when run in real-time. (BZ#2149861)

• Previously, the default container created in Azure was with public access enabled. With this fix, the default container created will not have the public access enabled which means AllowBlobPublicAccess is set to false. (BZ#2168838)
