Frequently Asked Questions
What is Microsoft Azure Reserved Capacity?
Azure Reserved Capacity allows you to pre-purchase a specific amount of compute or storage capacity for a one-year or three-year term. This provides significant cost savings compared to pay-as-you-go pricing and guarantees capacity availability.
What is the difference between Cool and Hot storage tiers in Azure?
Cool storage is optimized for data that is accessed less frequently (e.g., once a month) and offers lower storage costs but higher transaction costs. Hot storage is for data accessed frequently, with higher storage costs but lower transaction costs.
What does LRS mean for storage?
LRS stands for Locally Redundant Storage. It means your data is copied three times within a single data center, providing protection against hardware failures within that facility.
