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 at a lower price than pay-as-you-go rates. This ensures you have the capacity you need when you need it.
What does RA-GRS mean for my data?
RA-GRS stands for Read-Access Geo-Redundant Storage. It means your data is replicated to a secondary region for disaster recovery, and you can access the data from either the primary or secondary location.
Can I change the capacity or region after purchase?
Reserved capacity commitments are generally fixed for the duration of the term. Changes to capacity or region typically require purchasing a new reservation and potentially canceling the existing one, subject to Azure's terms and conditions.
