How to calculate Egress cost for data replication from Azure VM to On-premise VM using SQL always on?

Question

Hi Team,
I would like to setup a SQL Always-on configuration to replicate data from Azure Virtual Machine to my on-premise Virtual Machine.

I would like to know:

Whether it incurs Egress costing for moving data out of Azure through SQL always-on?
How the Egress costing will be calculated in this scenario?

Does Egress costing varies from customer to customer based on cloud licensing agreement?

Thanks,

@Anshul Farkya ,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & I hope you are doing well.

I understand that you would like to know about the egress cost of Azure Virtual Machines.

Please note that there is no such concept of "moving data out of Azure through SQL always-on".

• Data transfer happens either via Azure VPN /ExpressRoute or Internet.
• Can you confirm how the connectivity between Azure VM and your OnPrem servers is established as of now?

As for pricing, please refer to Bandwidth pricing.

Even Azure VPN to OnPREM uses the above billing,

Kindly let us know if this helps or you need further assistance on this issue.

Thanks,
