Frequently Asked Questions
What is Microsoft Storage Reserved Capacity?
It is a program that allows customers to commit to using a specific amount of Azure storage for a set term (e.g., 3 years) in exchange for a lower price compared to pay-as-you-go rates. This helps in cost optimization and predictable budgeting.
What is the difference between Hot, Cool, and Archive tiers?
Hot tier is for frequently accessed data requiring rapid retrieval. Cool tier is for less frequently accessed data that still needs quick access. Archive tier is for data accessed infrequently, where retrieval times can be longer, offering the lowest storage cost.
What does Locally Redundant Storage (LRS) mean?
LRS protects your data against hardware failures within a single data center by replicating it synchronously across multiple nodes. It provides high durability but does not protect against regional disasters.
