Frequently Asked Questions
What is Azure Storage Reserved Capacity?
Azure Storage Reserved Capacity allows you to commit to a specific amount of storage capacity in a particular region for a one-year or three-year term. This commitment provides a discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is the difference between Cool and Hot storage tiers?
Cool storage is optimized for storing data that is accessed less frequently but requires rapid access when needed, offering a lower storage cost. Hot storage is for data that is accessed frequently and offers the lowest access latency.
What does Local Redundant Storage (LRS) mean?
LRS protects your data by replicating it synchronously three times within a single datacenter. This protects against hardware failures within that datacenter but not against datacenter-wide disasters.
