Frequently Asked Questions
What is Storage Reserved Capacity?
Storage Reserved Capacity allows you to commit to a specific amount of Azure storage capacity for a one-year term at a discounted rate compared to pay-as-you-go pricing. It guarantees capacity and predictable costs.
What is Locally Redundant Storage (LRS)?
LRS replicates your data synchronously three times within a single physical location in the primary region. This protects your data from local hardware failures but not from region-wide disasters.
Can I change the region or capacity after purchase?
Typically, reserved capacity commitments are region-specific and cannot be changed after purchase. It is important to accurately forecast your needs before committing.
