Frequently Asked Questions
What is Microsoft Storage Reserved Capacity?
Storage Reserved Capacity is a commitment to use a specific amount of Azure storage capacity for a set term, typically 1 or 3 years. This commitment allows Microsoft to offer you discounted pricing compared to pay-as-you-go rates, ensuring predictable costs and guaranteed capacity.

These are Azure Blob Storage tiers optimized for different access frequencies and costs. Hot is for frequently accessed data, Cool for infrequently accessed data, and Archive for rarely accessed data. Archive offers the lowest storage cost but has higher retrieval times and costs.
