Zones For Billing Purposes

Zone for billing purposes is not the same as an Availability Zone - "Zone" is for billing purposes only and "Availability Zone" refers to the failure protection that Azure provides for datacentres.
Billing zones help determine the cost of services you are using.
Some inbound data transfers, such as data going into Azure datacenters, are free.
For outbound data transfers, such as data going out of Azure datacenters, data transfer pricing is based on Zones.
The following Zones exist and include the sample regions as listed below:
- Zone 1 - West US, East US, Canada West, West Europe, France Central and others.
- Zone 2 - Australia Central, Japan West, Central India, Korea South and others.
- Zone 3 - Brazil South.
- DE Zone 1 - Germany Central, Germany Northeast.
