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 or three-year term at a discounted rate compared to pay-as-you-go pricing. This ensures capacity is available and helps manage costs for predictable workloads.
What is the difference between Hot and Cool tiers?
The Hot tier is optimized for frequently accessed data requiring low latency and high throughput, while the Cool tier is for less frequently accessed data where slightly higher latency is acceptable, offering a lower storage cost.
What does Locally Redundant Storage (LRS) mean?
LRS protects your data by replicating it synchronously three times within a single data center. This protects against local hardware failures but not against entire data center outages.
