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 1 or 3 years, in exchange for a lower price compared to pay-as-you-go rates. This is ideal for predictable workloads.
What is the difference between Cool and Hot storage tiers?
Cool storage is optimized for data that is accessed less frequently but still requires rapid retrieval when needed, offering a lower storage cost than Hot tier. Hot tier is for frequently accessed data.
What does LRS (Local Redundancy) mean?
Local Redundancy means your data is replicated three times within a single data center. This protects against hardware failures but not against data center-wide outages.
