Description

We have a python app that uses Azure Storage, calling the BlockBlobService and AppendBlobService modules of the azure-storage-blob==2.1.0 package. When running a large number of simultaneous instances of our python app, we start seeing many occurrences of the following error:
`ConnectionResetError(10054, 'An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host', None, 10054, None))`
What is the best practice for recovering from these types of errors? Our normal retry function just fails on all 25 of its retries when this error is encountered. Is there a way to request that the connection to Azure is reset within a retry function?
