The following table describes default limits for Azure general-purpose v2 (GPv2), general-purpose v1 (GPv1), and Blob Storage accounts.

A few entries in the table also apply to disk access and are explicitly labeled. Disk access is a resource that is exclusively used for importing or exporting managed disks through private links.

Customers should use a GPv2 storage account, because GPv1 is being retired. You can easily upgrade a GPv1 or Blob Storage account to a GPv2 account with no downtime and no need to copy data. For more information, see Upgrade to a GPv2 storage account.

The ingress limit refers to all data sent to a storage account or disk access. The egress limit refers to all data received from a storage account or disk access.

Note

You can request higher capacity and ingress limits. To request an increase, contact Azure Support.
