Description

This should just be an overall improvement for us and will save on storage costs and also simplify backups as we won't need to compress them, just replicate the bucket elsewhere.

According to Mauro, deleting the store and recreating it pointed at the same bucket should work to enable this setting. We definitely need to test that.

Research direction

Start with the blob-store configuration and the deployment entry point for this infrastructure project. Test deleting and recreating the store while pointing it at the same bucket, then verify that lz4 compression is enabled and that replication can replace separate backup compression.
