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 and helps manage costs for stable workloads.
What is the difference between Hot and Cool tier storage?
Hot tier storage is optimized for frequently accessed data, offering lower latency and higher throughput at a higher cost per GB. Cool tier storage is for less frequently accessed data, with higher latency and lower cost per GB.
What does Locally Redundant Storage (LRS) mean?
LRS protects your data by replicating it synchronously three times within a single data center in the primary region. This provides durability against local hardware failures but does not protect against region-wide disasters.
