## Disk storage

On Azure, disk storage refers to [Premium SSD Managed Disks](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/managed-disks/). Encryption is turned on by default and uses platform-managed keys.

Disk storage is charged per GB per hour.

## Backup storage

Clusters deployed on Azure use [Azure Files](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/storage/files/) for storage. By default, backups are encrypted and decrypted transparently using 256-bit [AES encryption](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced%5FEncryption%5FStandard), one of the strongest block ciphers available, and is FIPS 140-2 compliant.

Backup storage is charged per GB per hour.
