Hi im sorry if this question sounds stupid, I'm still so new in Azure. So, I did a replication from a VMWare VM to Azure. I did test failover and failover. I then try to monitor the cost of this replication (which I still cannot find where to study the charge incurred on each item), I saw two types of managed disk. I believe the physical disk is the disk (mirrored from my VMWare vm) attached to my target VM in Azure. But, for asrseeddisk, I cannot comprehend what it does and how it relates to other resources and etc.

    @erlnaira For every source disk, data is replicated to a managed disk in Azure. This disk has the prefix of asrseeddisk. It stores the copy of the source disk and all the recovery point snapshots.

    Refer to the FAQ page - What is asrseeddisk?
