Frequently Asked Questions
What is Microsoft Azure Storage Reserved Capacity?
It is a program that allows you to commit to using a specific amount of Azure storage capacity for a set term (1 or 3 years) in exchange for a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing. This ensures you have the capacity you need at a predictable cost.
What is the difference between Hot, Cool, and Archive tiers?
The tiers differ in cost and access speed. Hot tier is for frequently accessed data requiring rapid retrieval, Cool tier is for less frequently accessed data with slightly longer retrieval times, and Archive tier is for rarely accessed data with the longest retrieval times and lowest cost. This offering is for the Hot tier.
What does Locally Redundant Storage (LRS) mean?
LRS protects your data by replicating it synchronously three times within a single data center. This protects against hardware failures within that data center but not against regional disasters.
