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 1-year term at a discounted rate compared to pay-as-you-go pricing. This guarantees that capacity is available for your use.
What is the difference between cool and hot storage tiers in Azure?
Hot storage is optimized for frequently accessed data, offering lower latency but higher costs. Cool storage is designed for data accessed less than once a month, providing a lower storage cost while still allowing for relatively quick retrieval.
