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

LRS is an Azure-specific redundancy option for Azure Storage that keeps three synchronous copies of data within a single datacenter in one region. Other clouds offer in-region replication concepts, but they are not branded or configured as a direct, one-to-one equivalent to Azure LRS.
