Azure Data Share

Azure Data Share, part of Microsoft's Azure suite of offerings, enables users to share data in any format and any size from multiple sources with other organizations. It enables users to control what is shared, who receives the data, and the terms of use. With its interface, Data Share provides visibility into data sharing relationships. Users can share data in just a few clicks or build an application using its REST API.

It features:

• Serverless code-free data sharing service that requires no infrastructure setup or management
• Interface to govern all data sharing relationships
• Automated data sharing processes for productivity and predictability
• Secure data sharing service that uses underlying Azure security measures

Users can share structured and unstructured data from multiple Azure data stores with other organizations in just a few clicks. There’s no infrastructure to set up or manage, no SAS keys are required, and sharing is all code-free. The user controls data access and sets terms of use aligned with the user's own enterprise policies. Snapshot-based sharing can be used to copy data from the data provider, or use in-place sharing to refer to data in the provider’s account.

Data Share will charge for Dataset Snapshots and Snapshot Execution. Dataset Snapshot is the operation to move a dataset from its source to a destination. Snapshot Execution includes the resources required to move a dataset from the source to the destination. Charges are prorated by the minute and rounded up.
