Frequently Asked Questions
What is Microsoft Azure Cool Blob Storage?
Cool Blob Storage is a tier of Azure Blob Storage designed for storing data that is accessed less frequently but requires rapid access when needed. It offers a lower storage cost compared to Hot tier storage.
What does 'Reserved Capacity' mean?
Reserved capacity means you are committing to a specific amount of storage (10 PB in this case) for a set duration (3 years) at a predetermined price. This ensures the capacity is available for you and helps manage costs.
What is LRS (Locally Redundant Storage)?
LRS provides basic data redundancy by replicating your data synchronously multiple times within a single data center. It protects against drive and rack failures but not against data center-wide outages.
