Frequently Asked Questions
What is Microsoft Azure Storage Reserved Capacity?
It is a program that allows you to reserve a specific amount of storage capacity for a 1-year or 3-year term at a discounted rate compared to pay-as-you-go pricing. This helps in cost optimization and predictability.
What is the difference between LRS, ZRS, GRS, and RA-GRS?
LRS (Locally Redundant Storage) replicates data within a single data center. ZRS (Zone-Redundant Storage) replicates data across multiple data centers within a region. GRS (Geo-Redundant Storage) replicates data to a secondary region hundreds of miles away. RA-GRS (Read-Access Geo-Redundant Storage) provides GRS plus read access to the secondary region.
Can I change the amount of storage I reserved after purchase?
Typically, reserved capacity commitments are fixed for the duration of the term. It is advisable to carefully estimate your storage needs before purchasing to ensure the reserved amount aligns with your projected usage.
