Azure pricing calcultor help?

I'm looking to create a backup of a few storage containers using a copy activity and a delete to remove the old data in one pipeline once the new has been written.

I'm struggling to understand the pricing calculator, am I just paying for the x amount read operations and x amount write operations + storage price? I could understand delete is free. The only thing that seems to drive the price up is 'iterative write operations' but simply reading and writing files doesnt fall under that category can it really be so cheap?

Example of one container copy activity is 167GB data read 8076 files, 167GB data written 8076 files. Storage 180GB. The operations by azures definition is 1 pr 4mb = 41750 each in read and write. The monthly price being $4.19.

Can this be right? Or is there something I'm missing? Thanks in advance.

Hi @jham-1595,

Thanks for reaching out and posting your query. To get a better understanding of Azure Data Factory pricing, I would recommend to follow this public document which has detailed explanation with example scenarios.

MS Doc : Understanding Data Factory pricing through examples

After going through the example scenarios, once you get an overview, you can use Azure pricing calculator, then select the Azure service and input the fields with your data to get an estimate accordingly.
