If you're creating an HDD file share, you can choose between the provisioned v2 and pay-as-you-go billing models. Both models are fully supported, however, we recommend provisioned v2 for new file share deployments. Provisioned v2 file shares are currently available in a limited subset of regions; see [provisioned v2 availability](./understanding-billing.md#provisioned-v2-availability) for more information.
