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 three years, in exchange for a lower per-unit cost compared to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is GZRS and why is it important?
GZRS provides high durability and availability by replicating data synchronously across three Azure availability zones within a region, and asynchronously to a secondary region. This protects against zone-level failures.
Can I change the region or capacity after purchase?
Reserved capacity commitments are generally fixed for the duration of the term. Changes to region or capacity would typically require purchasing a new reservation.
