Frequently Asked Questions
What is Microsoft Azure Storage Reserved Capacity?
It is a program that allows you to commit to using a specific amount of Azure storage capacity for a 1-year or 3-year term. In return, you receive a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is the difference between Cool and Hot storage tiers?
Cool storage is optimized for data that is accessed infrequently (less than once a month) and offers lower storage costs but potentially higher access costs. Hot storage is for frequently accessed data, with higher storage costs but lower access costs.
What does Local Redundant Storage (LRS) mean?
LRS provides 3 copies of your data within a single data center. This protects your data from local hardware failures but does not protect against regional disasters.
