Microsoft has launched a new Provisioned v2 pricing model for Azure Files HDD storage, replacing the previous pay-as-you-go model. This new approach enables users to set their required capacity, IOPS, and throughput independently, fostering clearer cost estimation at the file share level. The changes allow for a file share capacity between 32 GiB and 256 TiB, with improved performance scalability. This move mirrors the existing SSD Premium service, aiming to provide customers with better cost management and evaluation of their cloud storage usage.
Microsoft has introduced a new Provisioned v2 pricing model for Azure Files HDD storage, allowing users to set capacity, IOPS, and throughput, thus enhancing cost predictability.
Unlike its previous pay-as-you-go model, which tracked costs at the storage account level, the new Provisioned v2 model enables users to manage costs more effectively at the file share level.
The Provisioned v2 model accommodates shares ranging from 32 GiB to 256 TiB, offering a maximum of 50,000 IOPS and 5 Gbps throughput with dynamic scalability.
By transitioning to the Provisioned v2 model for HDD file storage, Microsoft empowers customers to better predict and control their storage expenses while optimizing performance.
