Frequently Asked Questions
What is reserved capacity storage?
Reserved capacity storage allows you to commit to a specific amount of storage for a set term, typically at a lower price than pay-as-you-go. This ensures your capacity is available when you need it and helps manage costs.
What is the difference between cool and hot tier storage?
Cool tier storage is optimized for data that is accessed less frequently but still needs to be readily available, offering a lower cost per GB than hot tier. Hot tier is for data accessed frequently and requires the lowest latency.
What does Geo-Redundant Storage (GRS) mean?
GRS means your data is asynchronously copied to a secondary region hundreds of miles away. This provides high durability and availability, protecting your data even in the event of a regional outage.
