Frequently Asked Questions
What is reserved capacity for Azure Files?
Reserved capacity allows you to pre-purchase a specific amount of Azure Files storage for a one-year or three-year term at a discounted rate compared to pay-as-you-go pricing. This ensures you have the capacity you need when you need it.
What is the difference between LRS, ZRS, and GRS?
Locally Redundant Storage (LRS) replicates data within a single data center. Zone-Redundant Storage (ZRS) replicates data across multiple data centers within a region. Geo-Redundant Storage (GRS) replicates data to a secondary region, offering the highest level of durability and disaster recovery.
