Frequently Asked Questions
What is Azure Files Reserved Capacity?
Azure Files Reserved Capacity allows you to commit to a specific amount of storage capacity for a one-year or three-year term at a discounted price compared to pay-as-you-go rates. This ensures capacity availability and predictable costs.
