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 (1 or 3 years) in exchange for a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing. This helps businesses optimize costs for predictable storage needs.
What is the difference between Cool and Hot storage tiers?
Cool storage is optimized for data that is accessed less frequently but still requires rapid access when needed, offering a lower storage cost. Hot storage is for data accessed frequently and has a higher storage cost but lower access cost.
What does Local Redundancy (LRS) mean?
LRS means that your data is replicated three times within a single data center. This protects your data against hardware failures within that facility but does not protect against entire data center outages.
