Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between cool and hot storage in Azure?
Cool storage is optimized for data that is accessed less frequently but still requires rapid retrieval, offering a lower storage cost than hot storage. Hot storage is for data accessed frequently and has higher access costs but lower retrieval costs.
What does Locally Redundant Storage (LRS) mean?
LRS protects your data against local hardware failures within a single data center by replicating it synchronously across multiple nodes. It does not protect against regional disasters.
Is this subscription transferable to other Azure regions or subscriptions?
Reserved capacity is specific to the region and the subscription it is purchased for. Modifications or transfers typically require specific Azure support engagement or re-purchase.
