Frequently Asked Questions
What is reserved capacity for Azure storage?
Reserved capacity allows you to pre-purchase a specific amount of storage capacity for a one- or three-year term at a significantly reduced price compared to pay-as-you-go rates. This guarantees you have the capacity when you need it and helps manage costs.
What is the difference between hot, cool, and archive storage tiers?
Hot storage is for data accessed frequently, offering the lowest latency and highest throughput. Cool storage is for infrequently accessed data, balancing cost and access time. Archive storage is for rarely accessed data, offering the lowest cost but with longer retrieval times.
Can I change my reserved capacity amount during the term?
Generally, reserved capacity commitments are fixed for the term. Modifications or cancellations may not be possible or may incur penalties. It is advisable to carefully plan your capacity needs before committing.
