Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Archive, Cool, and Hot tiers in Azure Storage?
Hot tier is for frequently accessed data, Cool tier for infrequently accessed data, and Archive tier for rarely accessed data. Archive offers the lowest storage cost but has higher data retrieval times and costs.
What does Locally Redundant Storage (LRS) mean?
LRS means your data is copied three times synchronously within a single data center in a primary region. This protects against drive, power, and network failures within that data center.
Can I access data stored in the Archive tier quickly?
Data retrieval from the Archive tier takes longer, typically within hours, and incurs retrieval costs. It is best suited for data that does not require immediate access.
