Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between GRS and GZRS?
GRS (Geo-Redundant Storage) replicates data to a secondary region within the same geography. GZRS (Geo-Zone-Redundant Storage) provides higher availability by replicating data across multiple Availability Zones in the primary region and also to a secondary region.
Can I change the amount of reserved capacity later?
Reserved capacity commitments are typically for a fixed term. Changes to the amount of reserved capacity may require purchasing a new reservation or modifying the existing one based on Microsoft's terms and conditions.
What kind of data is best suited for the 'cool' tier?
The cool tier is ideal for data that is accessed less frequently but still needs to be readily available, such as backup data, older business records, or disaster recovery files. It offers a lower storage cost compared to the hot tier.
