Azure Files reservations (also referred to as *reserved instances*) offer you a discount on capacity for storage costs when you commit to a reservation for either one year or three years. A reservation provides a fixed amount of storage capacity for the term of the reservation.
 
 Azure Files reservations can significantly reduce your capacity costs for storing data in your Azure file shares. How much you save will depend on the duration of your reservation, the total storage capacity you choose to reserve, and the tier and redundancy settings that you've chosen for your Azure file shares. Reservations provide a billing discount and don't affect the state of your Azure file shares.

Value-added services such as Azure Backup, Azure File Sync, and Azure Defender provide backup, replication and caching, and security functionality for Azure Files. Value-added solutions, whether on-premises or in the cloud, have their own licensing and product costs, but are often considered part of the total cost of ownership for file storage.

 There are differences in how reservations work with Azure file share snapshots for standard and premium file shares. If you're taking snapshots of standard file shares, then the snapshot differentials count against the reservation and are billed as part of the normal used storage meter. However, if you're taking snapshots of premium file shares, then the snapshots are billed using a separate meter and don't count against the reservation. For more information, see [Snapshots](#snapshots).

 ## Provisioned model
 Azure Files uses a provisioned model for premium file shares. In a provisioned billing model, you proactively specify to the Azure Files service what your storage requirements are, rather than being billed based on what you use. A provisioned model for storage is similar to buying an on-premises storage solution because when you provision an Azure file share with a certain amount of storage capacity, you pay for that storage capacity regardless of whether you use it or not. Unlike purchasing physical media on-premises, provisioned file shares can be dynamically scaled up or down depending on your storage and IO performance characteristics.
