-You can configure an instance of Azure SQL Edge as the push subscriber for one-way transactional replication or snapshot replication. This instance can't act as the publisher or the distributor for a transactional replication configuration. Note that Azure SQL Edge doesn't support merge replication, peer-to-peer replication, or Oracle publishing.

 ## Supported configurations

 - The instance of Azure SQL Edge must be a push subscriber for a publisher.
 - The publisher and the distributor can be either:
    - An instance of SQL Server running on-premises, or an instance of SQL Server running in an Azure virtual machine. For more information, see [SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines overview](/azure/azure-sql/virtual-machines/index). SQL Server instances must be using a version later than SQL Server 2016.
-   - An instance of Azure SQL Managed Instance. SQL Managed Instance can host publisher, distributor, and subscriber databases. For more information, see [Replication with SQL Database Managed Instance](/azure/sql-database/replication-with-sql-database-managed-instance/).

You can also do so by running Transact-SQL statements on the publisher, by using either SQL Server Management Studio or [Azure Data Studio](/sql/azure-data-studio/download-azure-data-studio).
 - To replicate to an instance of Azure SQL Edge, you must use SQL Server authentication to sign in.

 ## Initialize reference data on an instance of Azure SQL Edge
 
 You might want to initialize your instance with reference data that changes over time. For example, you might want to update machine learning models on your instance of Azure SQL Edge, after they have been trained on a SQL Server instance. Here's how to initialize your instance in such a scenario:
 
-1. Create a transactional replication publication on a SQL Server database.  
-2. On the SQL Server instance, use the **New Subscription Wizard** or Transact-SQL statements to create a push to subscription to Azure SQL Edge.  
-3. You can initialize the replicated database on Azure SQL Edge by using a snapshot generated by the snapshot agent, and distributed and delivered by the distribution agent. Alternatively, you can initialize by using a backup of the database from the publisher. Remember that if the database backup contains objects or features not supported by Azure SQL Edge, the restore operation fails.
