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 you have the capacity you need when you need it.
What is the difference between Hot, Cool, and Archive storage 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 infrequently accessed data with the lowest cost but highest latency.
What does Locally Redundant Storage (LRS) mean?
LRS protects your data by replicating it synchronously three times within a single physical location in the primary region. This protects against local hardware failures but not against regional disasters.
