Microsoft's Customer Managed Planned Failover Type for Azure Storage Available in Public Preview
Briefly

With the new customer managed planned failover type, users can operate failover without needing to reconfigure geo-redundant storage after the operation, ensuring consistency and ease.
Earlier, unplanned customer managed failover provided disaster recovery for geo-redundant storage accounts, aiding customers in disaster recovery testing and compliance.
Users can seamlessly transition their geo-redundant storage accounts to a secondary region without incurring additional costs or losing data during planned failover events.
The new failover type allows for efficient failback processes, as the original secondary region can revert to its prior status once outages are resolved.
