Replication of storage represents how the blobs are replicated to ensure the safety of their contents in case of hardware failure. When we create a blob, one of the options we have to select is the replication type:
- LRS (short for Local Redundant Storage): This storage replicates each blob three times in the same data center. It is designed to give us 99.999999999% (eleven 9s) in terms of durability of our objects. This is the least expensive option but offers less durability than other options.
- ZRS (short for Zone Redundant Storage): This storage replicates each blob in different zones. It is designed to give us 99.9999999999% (twelve 9s) in terms of durability of our objects. It's used to avoid downtime for applications ...
