Frequently Asked Questions
What is Microsoft Storage Reserved Capacity?
It is a commitment to use a specific amount of Azure storage capacity for a set term, typically offering cost savings compared to pay-as-you-go pricing. This reservation guarantees capacity and predictable costs.
What is the difference between Hot, Cool, and Archive tiers?
Hot tier is for frequently accessed data, Cool tier is for infrequently accessed data, and Archive tier is for rarely accessed data. Cool offers a balance between cost and access speed for data accessed less than once a month.
