Frequently Asked Questions
What is Microsoft Storage Reserved Capacity?
It is a purchasing option that allows you to reserve a specific amount of Azure storage capacity for a set term (e.g., 3 years) at a discounted, predictable price compared to pay-as-you-go rates.
What is Archive storage?
Archive storage is the lowest cost tier in Azure Blob Storage, designed for data that is accessed very infrequently but must be retained for long periods, such as regulatory compliance or historical records.
What is LRS (Local Redundant Storage)?
LRS protects your data by replicating it synchronously three times within a single physical location in the primary region. This protects against hardware failures but not against regional disasters.
