Microsoft 518BABA59E9B Azure Cool Write Operations

Account for cool-tier write activity in Azure Storage General Purpose v2 environments that use a hierarchical namespace in the US East region. Microsoft 518BABA59E9B represents the Azure CSP service meter for Cool Write Operations. It applies to cloud-service usage rather than a physical device, software download, or fixed-capacity storage allocation. This meter fits storage workloads where applications, analytics processes, or data-ingestion services write data into cool-tier storage organized through a hierarchical namespace. Hierarchical namespaces support directory-oriented data organization, which is commonly used by data-lake workloads and services that address data through paths. The Cool Write Operations designation specifically identifies the write-operation portion of the applicable storage usage. Use 518BABA59E9B when evaluating Azure Storage consumption associated with write-heavy activity on cool-tier, hierarchical-namespace storage in US East. Its scope differs from storage-capacity, read-operation, data-retrieval, and other Azure service usage categories because it identifies cool write operations. The CSP designation places the service within Microsoft's Cloud Solution Provider purchasing program, while the consumption-based license type aligns charges to recorded service use.
