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 (e.g., 3 years) in exchange for a discounted price compared to pay-as-you-go rates. This guarantees you have the capacity you need.
What is the difference between Cool and Hot storage tiers?
Cool storage is optimized for data that is accessed less frequently but still requires rapid access when needed, offering a lower storage cost than Hot tier. Hot tier is for frequently accessed data.
What does Local Redundant Storage (LRS) mean?
LRS protects your data by replicating it synchronously three times within a single physical location in the primary region. This protects against hardware failures within that datacenter.
