Frequently Asked Questions
What is Azure Files Reserved Capacity?
Azure Files Reserved Capacity allows you to commit to a specific amount of storage (e.g., 100 TB) for a set term (typically 1 or 3 years) at a discounted rate compared to pay-as-you-go pricing. This ensures capacity availability and predictable costs for your Azure Files storage.
What is the difference between Hot and Cool tiers in Azure Files?
The Hot tier is optimized for frequently accessed data, offering lower latency and higher throughput. The Cool tier is designed for less frequently accessed data, providing a lower storage cost but with higher access latency and cost.
What is Locally Redundant Storage (LRS)?
LRS protects your data by replicating it synchronously three times within a single data center. This protects against hardware failures but not against entire data center outages.
