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, in exchange for a discounted rate. This ensures you have the capacity you need at a predictable price.
What is Locally Redundant Storage (LRS)?
LRS protects your data against local hardware failures within a single data center. It provides multiple copies of your data within that data center, ensuring availability even if a hardware component fails.
Can I change the region after purchasing?
Reserved capacity is region-specific. If you need to change regions, you would typically need to cancel the existing reservation (which may incur fees) and purchase a new one for the desired region.
