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 discounted rate compared to pay-as-you-go pricing. This ensures capacity is available when you need it.
What does RA-GRS mean for my data?
RA-GRS means your data is replicated to a secondary Azure region, providing high durability and availability. You can also read data from the secondary region, which can be useful for certain disaster recovery scenarios.
Can I change the amount of storage or the term after purchase?
Generally, reserved capacity terms are fixed for the duration of the commitment. Changes to the amount or term would typically require purchasing a new reservation or modifying existing ones according to Microsoft's policies.
