Storage types for high availability
- [Lecturer] Microsoft offers several different storage types, some of which can be used for high availability. We are going to examine the following storage options in Azure, we're going to look at locally redundant storage, zone-redundant storage, geo-redundant storage, read-access geo-redundant storage and, currently in preview, geo-zone-redundant storage and read-access geo-zone redundant storage. By default even locally redundant storage has availability built in, by replicating three copies of our data in the same data center. This is the least expensive type of storage but it is most susceptible to a data center failure, such as fire or flood. Next we have zone-redundant storage or ZRS. ZRS replicas span data centers across the region and unlike LRS, ZRS protects against a data center failure. Moving on to geo-redundant storage or GRS, using this type of storage means we're replicating three additional copies to a…
