Frequently Asked Questions
What is Microsoft Storage Reserved Capacity?
Microsoft Storage Reserved Capacity allows you to commit to a specific amount of storage capacity for a set term (e.g., 3 years) at a discounted rate. This ensures you have the capacity you need while providing cost predictability.
What is the difference between Hot, Cool, and Archive storage tiers?
Hot tier is for frequently accessed data, offering the lowest access latency and highest cost. Cool tier is for infrequently accessed data, balancing cost and access time. Archive tier is for rarely accessed data, offering the lowest cost but with the highest access latency.
What does LRS (Locally Redundant Storage) mean?
LRS replicates your data synchronously three times within a single physical location in the primary region. This protects your data from local hardware failures but not from regional disasters.
