Frequently Asked Questions
What is geo-replication in Azure Storage?
Geo-replication in Azure Storage automatically replicates your data to a secondary region hundreds of miles away from the primary region. This ensures data availability and durability in case of a regional disaster.
What is the difference between LRS, ZRS, GRS, and RA-GRS?
LRS (Locally Redundant Storage) replicates data within a single data center. ZRS (Zone-Redundant Storage) replicates data across multiple availability zones within a region. GRS (Geo-Redundant Storage) replicates data to a secondary region. RA-GRS (Read-Access Geo-Redundant Storage) is GRS with read access to the secondary region.
How does this license impact my Azure costs?
This is a licensing cost for the capability of geo-replication. You will also incur data transfer and storage costs associated with the replicated data in the secondary region as per Azure's standard pricing.
