Hard Limit on Storage Account

Question

Hi Community,

I stumbled upon a limit of 5 PiB per Storage Account, which can be extended by the Azure support. Is there a hard limit on how much it can be extended? If yes, what is the limit; if no, great.

Best regards,

Christian

Hi Weiss Christian, BMW,

Thanks for reaching out on Q&A Forum

Yes 5 Pib is the default max capacity of the storage account.

This can only be reviewed by the capacity quoat team via a support request for further increase depending upon current workloads/expected capacity etc and then decide accordingly.

Hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any further quires, we will be glad to assist you.
