Frequently Asked Questions
What is Geo-Zone Redundant Storage (GZRS)?
GZRS provides the highest level of availability and durability by replicating data synchronously across three Azure availability zones in the primary region and asynchronously to a secondary region. This protects against both zone and regional failures.
How does reserved capacity differ from pay-as-you-go?
Reserved capacity commits you to a specific amount of storage for a set term, offering significant cost savings compared to pay-as-you-go pricing. It also guarantees that capacity will be available when you need it.
Can I change the amount of reserved capacity later?
Reserved capacity commitments are typically for a fixed term (e.g., 1 or 3 years). While you cannot typically reduce the capacity during the term, you may be able to exchange or upgrade it depending on Azure's policies at the time of purchase.
