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 rate compared to pay-as-you-go pricing. It guarantees that capacity will be available for your chosen tier and region.
What is the difference between Hot and Cool tier storage?
Hot tier is optimized for frequently accessed data, offering lower latency and higher throughput at a higher cost per GB. Cool tier is for infrequently accessed data, providing lower storage costs but with higher access latency and costs.
What does Locally Redundant Storage (LRS) mean?
LRS protects your data by replicating it synchronously three times within a single data center. This ensures data durability against local hardware failures but does not protect against regional disasters.
