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 1 or 3 years. This allows you to reserve capacity and receive a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is the difference between Hot, Cool, and Archive tiers?
Hot tier is for frequently accessed data requiring low latency and high throughput. Cool tier is for less frequently accessed data with slightly higher latency. Archive tier is for rarely accessed data with the lowest cost but highest latency.
What does LRS mean?
LRS stands for Locally Redundant Storage. It means your data is copied three times within a single data center, protecting it from hardware failures within that facility.
