Frequently Asked Questions
What is Microsoft Storage Reserved Capacity?
It is a program where you commit to using a certain amount of Azure storage for a fixed term (e.g., 3 years) in exchange for a discounted price compared to pay-as-you-go rates. This specific offering reserves 10 PB of cool storage in the US West region with LRS.
What is the difference between cool and hot storage tiers?
Cool storage is optimized for storing data that is accessed less frequently (e.g., once a month) and offers lower storage costs but 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 means your data is replicated three times within a single data center. This protects your data from hardware failures but not from entire data center outages. It is a cost-effective option for durability.
