Earlier this week, Microsoft announced that it would follow suit with Google and Amazon in eliminating Azure egress fees. The following outlines Azure’s commitment to customer choice and details the process for transferring data out of Azure with financial incentives.
Free Egress Offer
Azure now provides free data egress for customers leaving Azure, allowing them to transfer their data to another cloud provider or on-premises data center without incurring internet fees.
Eligibility and Process
The first 100GB/month is free globally. For additional data transfer, customers must contact Azure Support and follow specific instructions to be eligible for the credit.
Data Transfer Credit
Once the data transfer is complete and all associated Azure subscriptions are cancelled, Azure Support will apply the credit.
Compliance with Data Act
This policy aligns with the European Data Act and is available to all Azure customers worldwide.
