Frequently Asked Questions
What is Microsoft Storage Reserved Capacity?
It is a commitment to use a specific amount of Azure Storage capacity (e.g., 100 TB) for a set term (e.g., 3 years) in exchange for a discounted price compared to pay-as-you-go rates. This helps businesses predict and manage storage costs.
What is the difference between Cool and Hot storage tiers?
Cool tier is designed for data that is accessed less frequently (e.g., once a month) and offers lower storage costs but higher access costs. Hot tier is for frequently accessed data, with higher storage costs but lower access costs.
What does Local Redundant Storage (LRS) mean?
LRS provides 3 copies of your data within a single data center in the US West region. This protects your data from hardware failures but not from regional disasters.
