Frequently Asked Questions
What is Azure Files Reserved Capacity?
Azure Files Reserved Capacity allows you to pre-purchase a specific amount of Azure Files storage capacity for a one-year or three-year term at a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing. This ensures you have the capacity you need at a predictable cost.
What is the difference between HOT and COOL tiers?
The HOT tier is optimized for storing data that is accessed frequently, offering lower latency and higher throughput. The COOL tier is for data that is accessed less frequently and offers a lower storage cost but higher access costs.
What does Locally Redundant Storage (LRS) mean?
LRS protects your data against hardware failures within a single data center. It asynchronously copies your data three times within a single facility, providing durability against local issues but not against regional disasters.
