Frequently Asked Questions
What is Storage Reserved Capacity?
Storage Reserved Capacity allows you to commit to a specific amount of Azure storage for a 1-year or 3-year term at a significantly discounted rate compared to pay-as-you-go pricing. It guarantees that capacity is available for your needs.
What is the difference between Hot, Cool, and Archive tiers?
Hot tier is for frequently accessed data requiring low latency. Cool tier is for less frequently accessed data with slightly higher latency. Archive tier is for rarely accessed data with the lowest cost but highest latency.
What does Geo-Redundant Storage (GRS) mean?
GRS means your data is replicated synchronously to a secondary region within the same geography (in this case, US South Central) and asynchronously to a different geography. This provides high durability and availability.
