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 charged as per VNet peering rates.

Academic customers must be an Enrolment for Education Solutions (EES) education customer to be eligible, and the egress charges must be less than 15% of the total monthly consumption bill. Egress is not waived for traffic over ExpressRoute or CDN, in addition to customers using egress-as-a-service applications such as MOOCs. For more information, please refer to the EES programme page.
