<p>Geo-redundant storage (GRS) = Copies data synchronously three times within a single physical location in the primary region using LRS. It then copies data asynchronously to a single physical location in the secondary region using LRS. Geo-zone-redundant storage (GZRS) = Data is copied across three Azure availability zones in the primary region and is also replicated to a secondary geographic region, using LRS, for protection from regional disasters. Read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS) = Replicates data to another physical location in the secondary region and allows for read access to the secondary region. Read-access geo-zone-redundant storage (RA-GZRS) = Similar to GZRS but allows for read access to the secondary region.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Primary Region = The location you select when you create a storage account. Data is copied from here to a secondary region. Secondary Region = Paired with the primary region based on Azure Region Pairs. Data is copied here from the primary region. Recovery Point Objective (RPO) = The interval between the most recent writes to the primary region and the last write to the secondary region. Failover = The process of switching over to the secondary region if the primary region becomes unavailable.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Durable and highly available = Redundancy ensures that your data is safe if transient hardware failures occur. Data replicated across data centers or geographical regions remains highly available if an unexpected outage occurs. Secure = Azure Storage services are designed with security in mind, protecting data at rest and in transit. Scalable = Azure Storage services can handle massive amounts of data and scale as your needs change. Cost-effective = Azure Storage services offer a range of storage options and pricing tiers to fit different needs and budgets.</p> Signup and view all the answers
