Frequently Asked Questions
What is Microsoft Storage Reserved Capacity?
It is a commitment to use a specific amount of Azure storage capacity (e.g., 10 PB of Hot tier) for a set term (e.g., 3 years) in exchange for a lower price compared to pay-as-you-go rates. This ensures capacity is available when you need it and helps manage costs.
What is the difference between Hot, Cool, and Archive storage tiers?
Hot tier is for frequently accessed data requiring immediate retrieval. Cool tier is for infrequently accessed data that needs to be readily available. Archive tier is for rarely accessed data stored for long periods, offering the lowest cost but with longer retrieval times.
What does LRS (Local Redundant Storage) 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 but not against region-wide disasters.
