Frequently Asked Questions
What is Microsoft Storage Reserved Capacity?
It is a commitment to use a specific amount of Azure storage capacity for a set term (e.g., 3 years) in exchange for a lower per-gigabyte price compared to pay-as-you-go rates. This helps businesses predict and manage storage costs.
What is Azure Archive Storage?
Archive storage is the lowest-cost tier in Azure Blob Storage, designed for data that is accessed very infrequently and requires long retention periods, such as regulatory archives or long-term backups. Retrieval times can be longer and may incur higher costs.
What is Local Redundant Storage (LRS)?
LRS protects your data against local hardware failures within a single data center. It asynchronously copies your data three times within a single physical location, providing high durability against common hardware failures.
