The main trade-off of tiered storage is the higher latency when accessing and reading data from remote storage compared to local disk storage.

Adding local caching can partially mitigate this issue, but it cannot eliminate the latency entirely.
Adding local caching can partially mitigate this issue, but it cannot eliminate the
latency entirely.

## Limitations

- Tiered storage does not support compacted topics.
- Once enabled, tiered storage for a topic cannot be deactivated. As a workaround,
set the local retention to `-2` (the default value) to keep all data available locally.
For assistance, contact [Aiven support](mailto:support@aiven.io).
- Increasing the local retention threshold doesn't move segments
already uploaded to remote storage back to local storage. This
change only affects new data segments.
- If you enable tiered storage on a service, you cannot migrate the
service to a different region or cloud, except for moving it to a
virtual cloud in the same region. For migration to a different
region or cloud, contact [Aiven support](mailto:support@aiven.io).
- After tiered storage is enabled, you cannot disable it. As a workaround
to keep all data locally, set the local retention to `-2` (the default value).For

- If tiered storage is enabled, you cannot migrate the service to a different region or

contact [Aiven support](mailto:support@aiven.io).
- Tiered storage is only available on AWS, GCP, and Azure.
- If you power off your service with tiered storage enabled, you will permanently
lose all remote data. Charges for tiered storage are not applicable while the service
is off.
- Tiered storage is not available on all plans and regions. Check the
[plans and pricing page](https://aiven.io/pricing?product=kafka) for supported plans
and regions.
