15. Higher durability 3 local replicas in primary location Local replicas – synchronously replicated Common failures (disk, node, rack) – use local copies to recover Major disasters – contact customer about potential data loss Reduced Price – 23-34% based on how much you store Turn off Geo for your storage account in portal Non-critical data that can be recreated on major disasters Application manages its own replica Companies have limitations on geo locations Locally Redundant Storage Highest level of durability 3 local replicas each in primary and secondary locations Local replicas – synchronously replicated Geo replica – asynchronously replicated Common failures (disk, node, rack) – use local copies to recover Major disasters – use geo replicated copy (400+ miles apart) Price remains the same as before Enabled by default Geo Redundant Storage
