    Hi Deepthi Ratan - Thanks for reaching out.

    Can you please elaborate what does CopyObject refers to and from where are you trying to/from copy.

    If you are copying from local machine to Blob storage, it will be ingress to storage.

    If you are copy from blob storage to local machine, it will be egress from storage.

    If you are copying from/to blob storage, it will be egress from source and ingress to the destination. with the storage.

    Please let us know if you have any further queries. I’m happy to assist you further.

    @Deepthi Ratan Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, Thank you for posting your query here!

    The CopyObject request in Azure Blob Storage is considered an egress operation. Egress operations are those that read data from the storage service and transfer it out of the service. In the case of the CopyObject request, data is being read from the source blob and transferred to the destination blob, which is considered an egress operation.

    It's worth noting that egress operations are charged based on the amount of data transferred out of the storage service. The pricing for egress operations varies depending on the region and the amount of data being transferred. You can find more information about Azure Blob Storage pricing on the Azure website.

    The term “CopyObject request” is not explicitly defined as ingress or egress. However, in the context of data transfer, ingress typically refers to data coming into a system, while egress refers to data going out. If the CopyObject request is moving data into a system, it would be considered ingress, and if it’s moving data out, it would be egress.

    Additional information: For more detailed information, you can refer to the section on Networking and connectivity for mission-critical workloads on Azure.

    Please let us know if you have any further queries. I’m happy to assist you further.
