Do you have any idea how to transition from TupleAzureBlobStorage to any recommended solution? Is there any description of why and how to transition?

That change was described [here](https://docs.greatexpectations.io/docs/0.18/reference/learn/migration_guide/#store-backends) in the migration guide. In short, the implementations weren’t up to our standards, and writing/reading configuration from cloud stores is outside the scope of what GX is designed to do.
