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 offering a lower price compared to pay-as-you-go rates. This ensures you have the capacity you need when you need it.
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. Hot storage is for data accessed very frequently and has a higher storage cost but lower access cost.
What does Local Redundant Storage (LRS) mean?
LRS means that your data is copied three times within a single datacenter in the US Central region. This protects your data from hardware failures within that datacenter but not from regional disasters.
