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 a lower price compared to pay-as-you-go rates. This ensures you have the capacity you need at a predictable cost.
What is the difference between Cool and Hot storage tiers?
Cool storage is designed for data that is accessed less frequently and offers a lower storage cost but may have slightly higher access costs. Hot storage is for frequently accessed data, with higher storage costs but lower access costs.
What does Local Redundant Storage (LRS) mean?
LRS means that your data is replicated three times within a single data center. This protects your data against hardware failures within that facility but not against a data center-wide outage.
