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 of cool storage) for a set term (e.g., 3 years) in exchange for a lower price compared to pay-as-you-go rates.
What is the difference between cool and hot storage?
Cool storage is optimized for data that is accessed less frequently but still needs to be readily available, offering a lower cost per GB than hot storage. Hot storage is for data that requires the fastest access times.
What does Locally Redundant Storage (LRS) mean?
LRS means your data is automatically replicated three times within a single data center in the chosen Azure region. This protects your data from hardware failures within that data center.
