Frequently Asked Questions
What is Azure Reserved Capacity for storage?
Azure Reserved Capacity allows you to pre-purchase storage capacity for a 1 or 3-year term at a discounted rate compared to pay-as-you-go pricing. This helps in predictable cost management for your Azure storage needs.
What is the difference between Archive, Cool, and Hot tiers?
These tiers represent different access frequencies and costs. Hot is for frequently accessed data, Cool for infrequently accessed data, and Archive for rarely accessed data that must be retained for long periods. Archive offers the lowest storage cost but has higher retrieval times and costs.
What does LRS mean for data protection?
LRS (Locally Redundant Storage) replicates your data synchronously three times within a single physical location in the primary region. This protects your data against hardware failures within that data center.
