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 cost savings and predictable performance in return.
What is the difference between Cool and Archive tiers?
Cool tier is for data accessed less than once a month, offering a balance of cost and access speed. Archive tier is for data accessed very rarely (less than once a year) and has the lowest cost but longer retrieval times.
What does GZRS mean?
GZRS stands for Geo-Redundant Storage. It means your data is synchronously replicated within a primary region and asynchronously replicated to a secondary region hundreds of miles away, providing high durability and availability.
