Prices are estimates only and are not intended as actual price quotes. Actual pricing may vary depending on the type of agreement entered with Microsoft, date of purchase, and the currency exchange rate. Prices are calculated based on US dollars and converted using London closing spot rates that are captured in the two business days prior to the last business day of the previous month end. If the two business days prior to the end of the month autumn on a bank holiday in major markets, the rate setting day is generally the day immediately preceding the two business days. This rate applies to all transactions during the forthcoming month. Sign in to the Azure pricing calculator to see pricing based on your current programme/offer with Microsoft.

Yes. Availability Zone is different to Zone.
Zone is a geographical grouping of Azure regions for billing purpose. Data transfer pricing is based on the Zones. For Zone details, please refer to FAQ below.
Availability Zone is an isolated location inside an Azure region, and has its own independent power source, network and cooling. The physical and logical separation of Availability Zones within an Azure region protects apps and data from zone-level failures. Availability Zone data transfer pricing is based on Availability Zones.
-
Following Availability Zone data transfer is charged:
- Data transfer, ingress and egress, from a VNet resource deployed in an Availability Zone to another resource in different Availability Zone in the same VNET
Following Availability Zone data transfer is NOT charged:
- Data transfer between VNet resources located in same Availability Zone
- Data transfer between a VNet resource and a Public IP address in the same Azure Region
- Data transfer between VNet resources located in peered VNets across Availability Zones. This data transfer will be charges as per VNet peering rates.
