Frequently Asked Questions
What is Azure Government?
Azure Government is a separate instance of Microsoft Azure cloud services designed for US Government agencies and their partners. It meets stringent security and compliance requirements specific to government operations.
What is the difference between cool and hot storage tiers?
Cool storage is optimized for data that is accessed less frequently but still requires rapid retrieval, offering a lower cost per GB than hot storage. Hot storage is for data accessed very frequently.
What does Geo-Redundant Storage (GRS) mean?
GRS means your data is replicated to a secondary geographic region, providing high durability and availability. If the primary region experiences an outage, your data remains accessible from the secondary region.
