Microsoft AB2F2E074284 Premium Locally Redundant Snapshot Storage

Retain snapshot data in the Premium, locally redundant storage tier used by Microsoft Azure US Government cloud environments. Capacity for this offer is measured in GB, allowing snapshot storage consumption to be accounted for by the amount of retained data. It applies to cloud-resident snapshots rather than a server, disk, appliance, or shipped accessory. Snapshots preserve a stored point-in-time copy that can remain available after the source resource changes. This capacity designation applies specifically to the data retained by those snapshots. Administrators working with Azure storage protection workflows can use the meter to distinguish snapshot capacity from other Azure service consumption categories and from the underlying resources associated with the snapshots. Microsoft AB2F2E074284 identifies the Premium locally redundant snapshot storage offer for the Azure US Government environment. The Premium tier, local redundancy designation, snapshot purpose, GB capacity measurement, and US Government applicability distinguish it from storage offers intended for other redundancy scopes, capacity categories, or cloud environments. Select this service when the required Azure configuration calls for retained snapshot capacity under those named storage conditions.
