Frequently Asked Questions
What is Microsoft Storage Reserved Capacity?
It is a commitment to use a specific amount of Azure storage capacity for a set term, typically offering a lower price per GB compared to pay-as-you-go pricing. This ensures capacity is available when you need it.
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 requiring long-term retention. Archive has the lowest storage cost but higher retrieval costs and latency.
What does Local Redundancy (LRS) mean?
LRS means that your data is replicated synchronously three times within a single data center. This protects your data from drive and node failures, as well as rack and enclosure level failures.
