Frequently Asked Questions
What is Geo-Redundant Storage (GRS)?
GRS means your data is asynchronously copied to a secondary region hundreds of miles away from the primary region. This provides high durability and availability in case of a primary region failure.
What is the 'cool' storage tier?
The 'cool' tier is designed for data that is accessed less frequently but still requires rapid access when needed. It offers a lower cost per GB compared to 'hot' storage, making it ideal for backups, archives, or less frequently used files.
How does reserved capacity differ from on-demand storage?
Reserved capacity guarantees you a specific amount of storage at a potentially lower cost per GB, ensuring availability. On-demand storage allows you to scale up or down as needed but may have higher per-unit costs and less guaranteed availability during peak demand.
