Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Cool and Hot storage in Azure?
Cool storage is optimized for storing data that is accessed infrequently but requires rapid access when needed, offering a lower storage cost than hot storage. Hot storage is for data that is accessed frequently and requires the lowest latency.
What does Locally Redundant Storage (LRS) mean?
LRS protects your data against local hardware failures within a single data center by replicating it synchronously across multiple nodes. It provides basic durability but does not protect against entire data center outages.
Can this storage be used for active applications?
While this is cool storage, it is best suited for data that is accessed infrequently, such as backups, archives, or logs. For applications requiring constant, low-latency access, Azure Hot storage would be more appropriate.
