Frequently Asked Questions
What is Azure Files Reserved Capacity?
Azure Files Reserved Capacity allows you to pre-purchase a specific amount of storage capacity for Azure Files at a discounted rate compared to pay-as-you-go pricing. This ensures you have the capacity you need, when you need it.
What is the difference between LRS, ZRS, GRS, and RA-GRS?
LRS (Locally Redundant Storage) replicates data within a single data center. ZRS (Zone-Redundant Storage) replicates data across multiple data centers within a region. GRS (Geo-Redundant Storage) replicates data to a secondary region. RA-GRS (Read-Access Geo-Redundant Storage) provides read access to the secondary region's data.
Can I change the capacity or region after purchase?
Reserved capacity commitments are typically for a fixed term (e.g., one or three years) and are region-specific. Changes to capacity or region usually require purchasing a new reservation or cancelling and repurchasing, subject to specific Azure terms.
