Locally Redundant Storage

Definition

Azure storage option that maintains 3 synchronous copies of data within a single data center. The most cost-effective redundancy option trading regional protection for lower cost.

Real-World Example

Azure LRS is used for temporary data or non-critical workloads where losing a single data center is acceptable, costing significantly less than geo-redundant options.

Cloud Provider Equivalencies

Azure LRS keeps three synchronous copies within one datacenter. Other clouds commonly replicate within a region across multiple zones/facilities by default, so the closest equivalents are single-region storage configurations without cross-region replication, but they may not match the 'single datacenter, 3 synchronous copies' behavior exactly.

AWS
Amazon S3 Standard (single-Region) + S3 Replication Time Control not applicable; closest concept is single-Region storage without cross-Region replication
AZ
Azure Storage Locally Redundant Storage (LRS)
GCP
Google Cloud Storage Regional (single-region) or Dual-region (not equivalent); closest is Regional within one region
OCI
OCI Object Storage (standard) within a region; closest concept is storing data in a single region without cross-region replication
