Frequently Asked Questions
What is Microsoft Azure Storage Reserved Capacity?
It is a commitment to use a specific amount of Azure storage capacity for a set term, in exchange for a discounted rate compared to pay-as-you-go pricing. 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 optimized for data accessed less than once a month and offers lower storage costs but higher access costs. Hot storage is for frequently accessed data, with higher storage costs but lower access costs.
What does RA-GRS mean for my data?
RA-GRS means your data is synchronously replicated to a secondary region within Azure, providing high durability and availability. You can also read data from the secondary region, which is beneficial for disaster recovery scenarios.
