Frequently Asked Questions
What is Microsoft Azure Cool storage?
Azure Cool storage is a tier designed for data that is accessed less frequently but still requires rapid access when needed. It offers a lower storage cost compared to Hot tier storage, making it ideal for backups, disaster recovery files, and long-term archives.
