Frequently Asked Questions
What is Microsoft Azure Storage Reserved Capacity?
It is a program that allows customers to commit to using a specific amount of storage capacity for a 1-year or 3-year term in exchange for a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing. This helps in optimizing costs for predictable storage needs.
What is RA-GRS and why is it important?
RA-GRS stands for Read-Access Geo-Redundant Storage. It provides high durability by replicating your data synchronously across two data centers within a primary region, and then asynchronously to a secondary region hundreds of miles away. This ensures your data is protected against hardware failures, network outages, and even regional disasters.
Can I change the amount of storage after purchase?
Once purchased, the reserved capacity is fixed for the 1-year term. If your needs change significantly, you may need to purchase additional reservations or adjust your usage patterns. It is recommended to accurately forecast your storage requirements before committing.
