Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between LRS, ZRS, GRS, and RA-GRS?
Locally Redundant Storage (LRS) replicates data within a single data center. Zone-Redundant Storage (ZRS) replicates data across multiple availability zones within a region. Geo-Redundant Storage (GRS) replicates data to a secondary region. Read-Access Geo-Redundant Storage (RA-GRS) provides read access to the secondary region's data.
How does geo-redundancy protect my data?
Geo-redundancy automatically copies your data to a secondary Azure region hundreds of miles away from the primary region. If the primary region experiences an outage, your data remains available from the secondary region.
Is this suitable for compliance requirements?
Yes, Azure GRS is designed to meet stringent data durability and availability requirements, helping organizations comply with various regulatory standards that mandate data protection and disaster recovery capabilities.
