Frequently Asked Questions
What is Azure Files reserved capacity?
Azure Files reserved capacity allows you to commit to a specific amount of storage for a one-year term at a discounted rate compared to pay-as-you-go pricing. This ensures you have the capacity you need and predictable costs.
What is Locally Redundant Storage (LRS)?
LRS protects your data by replicating it synchronously three times within a single data center. This provides durability against hardware failures but does not protect against region-wide disasters.
Can I change the amount of reserved capacity after purchase?
Reserved capacity commitments are typically for a fixed term (e.g., one year) and a specific amount of storage. Modifications may not be possible during the term, so it is important to accurately forecast your needs.
