Frequently Asked Questions
What is Azure Storage Reserved Capacity?
Azure Storage Reserved Capacity allows you to commit to a specific amount of storage capacity for a one-year term at a discounted rate compared to pay-as-you-go pricing. It guarantees you have the capacity when you need it.
What is the Archive access tier?
The Archive access tier is the lowest-cost storage option in Azure Blob Storage, designed for data that is accessed very infrequently, such as regulatory archives or long-term backups. Retrieval times can be longer and may incur higher transaction costs.
