Azure Data Lake Storage Pricing
Understand the costs associated with Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2, a massively scalable and secure data lake built on Azure Data Lake Storage. It offers hierarchical namespaces, file-level security, and optimized performance for big data analytics workloads.
Data Storage
$0.020/GB/month
- Cost of storing data in the Data Lake Storage service.
- Tiered pricing may apply based on total volume.
- Prices are estimates and can vary by region.
Data Operations (Transactions)
$0.000004/10,000 operations
- Includes read, write, and other metadata operations.
- Costs are based on the volume and type of transactions.
- Optimize your application to reduce unnecessary calls.
Data Transfer
$0.00/GB (Ingress)
- Ingress (data into Azure) is generally free.
- Egress (data out of Azure) has associated costs.
- Specific egress costs depend on the destination region.

Factors Affecting Your Bill
- Data Volume: The total amount of data you store.
- Number of Transactions: The frequency and type of operations performed on your data.
- Data Egress: Data transferred out of Azure regions.
- Redundancy Options: Geo-redundant storage (GRS) is more expensive than locally-redundant storage (LRS).
- Service Tier: While Data Lake Storage Gen2 primarily uses Hot tier pricing, understanding hot/cool concepts is relevant for Azure Blob Storage.
