Frequently Asked Questions
What is reserved capacity storage?
Reserved capacity storage allows you to commit to a specific amount of storage for a set period, typically at a lower per-unit cost than pay-as-you-go options. It guarantees that capacity will be available for your use.
What is the difference between cool and hot storage tiers?
Cool storage is designed for data that is accessed infrequently (e.g., once a month) and offers a lower cost per GB than hot storage, which is for frequently accessed data. Retrieval times for cool storage may be slightly longer.
Does this subscription include data transfer costs?
This subscription covers the reserved storage capacity itself. Data transfer costs (ingress/egress) and transaction costs are typically billed separately based on Azure's standard pricing for the region and services used.
