Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between cool and hot storage tiers in Azure?
Cool storage is optimized for data that is accessed less frequently but requires rapid retrieval when needed, offering a lower storage cost than hot storage. Hot storage is best for frequently accessed data.
What does 'LRS' mean for Azure storage?
LRS stands for Locally Redundant Storage. It means your data is copied multiple times within a single data center to protect against hardware failures. It does not protect against data center-wide outages.
Why is this specifically for US Government entities?
This offering is provisioned in Azure regions that are specifically designed to meet the stringent security, compliance, and data residency requirements of US government agencies and their partners.
