Frequently Asked Questions
What is Microsoft Storage Reserved Capacity?
Reserved capacity is a pricing model where you commit to using a specific amount of storage for a set term (e.g., 3 years) in exchange for a lower per-unit cost. This helps in predictable budgeting and cost savings for long-term storage needs.
Who is eligible for Azure Government?
Azure Government is a separate cloud environment designed for US federal, state, local, and tribal government agencies and their partners. It adheres to specific US government compliance and security standards.
What is the difference between Archive, Cool, and Hot storage tiers?
Archive storage is the lowest cost tier for data accessed very infrequently (e.g., once a year) and has the longest retrieval times. Cool storage is for data accessed less frequently than hot storage, with faster retrieval. Hot storage is for data accessed frequently.
