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, typically offering a lower per-gigabyte cost compared to pay-as-you-go pricing. This reservation ensures capacity availability and predictable expenses.
What is the difference between Cool and Hot storage tiers?
Cool storage is optimized for data accessed less frequently and has lower storage costs but higher access costs compared to Hot storage, which is for frequently accessed data with higher storage costs and lower access costs.
What does Local Redundant Storage (LRS) mean?
LRS protects your data by replicating it synchronously three times within a single physical location in the primary region. This protects against hardware failures but not against regional disasters.
