Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between GRS and RA-GRS?
GRS (Geo-Redundant Storage) replicates data to a secondary region for durability. RA-GRS (Read-Access Geo-Redundant Storage) provides the same redundancy but also allows read access to the data in the secondary region, which can be useful for disaster recovery scenarios or analytics.
Can I exceed the 10 PB reservation?
This reservation guarantees 10 PB of capacity. If your usage exceeds this amount, you will be billed for the additional capacity at standard rates, and it will not be covered by the reservation terms.
What happens after the 1-year term expires?
Upon expiration, the reservation will end. You will need to renew the reservation or transition your storage to other Azure storage options to continue using the capacity.
