Frequently Asked Questions
What is Microsoft Azure Cool storage?
Azure Cool storage is a cost-effective tier optimized for storing data that is accessed infrequently but required for longer periods. It offers a balance between cost and access time, making it ideal for backups, archives, and disaster recovery data.
