I would like to know If I move the scripts and images to the following

1.Static content website (or) 2. Blob storage(Https)

Are the Price for outbound transfers same? Can anyone confirm this?

Answer 1

From the Microsoft site.

All inbound data sent to Windows Azure is free. Outbound data is charged based on the total amount of data moving out of the Windows Azure data centers via the Internet in a given billing cycle. Data transfers between Windows Azure services located within the same data center are not subject to any charge. The first 5 GB of outbound data transfers per billing month are also free.

They don't mention details about specific services as they only monitor outbound transters for billing according to that information.

EDIT

One thing to bear in mind using blob storage you are limited to the number of accesses per second (I think this is 500) so a heavily loaded site will need to use the CDN as well as just blob storage.
