Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between cool and hot storage?
Cool storage is optimized for data that is accessed infrequently but still requires rapid access when needed, offering a lower cost per GB than hot storage. Hot storage is for data that is accessed frequently and requires the lowest latency.
What does RA-GRS mean for my data?
RA-GRS provides a high level of data durability and availability. Your data is replicated within a primary region and also to a secondary geographic region, protecting against regional failures and ensuring business continuity.
Can this storage be used for active applications?
While this is a cool storage tier optimized for cost-effectiveness for less frequently accessed data, it can support applications that do not require the absolute lowest latency. For highly active, latency-sensitive applications, hot storage tiers are typically recommended.
