The top-level resource in Azure Storage, giving a unique namespace for table, queue, file and blob data. Location, performance and kind are set when it is created and cannot change.
- Standard general-purpose v2
A Standard storage account covering every storage service, with access tiers and all redundancy options available.
- SKU
The size or tier of a service, for example a VM size or the Premium tier of ACR.
- Premium
Hosting plan for Azure Functions that keeps instances pre-warmed to avoid cold starts and supports VNet integration. Executions time out after 30 minutes by default, which host.json can extend.
- LRS
Locally redundant storage, the lowest-cost redundancy option, keeps three copies of the data inside a single datacentre in the primary region.
- ZRS
Zone-redundant storage: data is written three times, each copy in a different availability zone of the same region, and nothing is replicated to a secondary region.
