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 1 year, in exchange for a lower price compared to pay-as-you-go rates. This ensures you have the capacity you need at a predictable cost.
What is the difference between Cool and Hot tiers?
The Cool tier is optimized for data that is accessed less frequently but still requires rapid access when needed, offering a lower storage cost. The Hot tier is for frequently accessed data and has higher storage costs but lower access costs.
What does GRS mean for my data?
GRS (Geo-Redundant Storage) means your data is copied to a secondary Azure region hundreds of miles away from the primary region. This protects your data from regional disasters and ensures high availability.
