Hi Team,
Objective of this work is to implement a hybrid Cloud-Edge application model where we need to sync the Azure SQL Edge database and Azure SQL database. For that purpose, we followed this "https://learn.microsoft .com/en-us/azure/azure-sql-edge/tutorial-sync-data-sync" tutorial shared by Microsoft Team.
Steps implemented are discussed as follows,
Based on the tutorial, after completing the preceding steps, we'll have a sync group that includes a database in Azure SQL Database and a SQL Edge instance. But In the Tables option, database from SQL Edge instance is not listed as expected.
From what we understand from the documentation the SQL edge is considered to be an on-premises SQL server, hence we would need to add it as a member database under the “On premise” server blade in the portal. But since we have our edge runtime based on ubuntu, I don’t find any application that would serve as a sync agent for a Linux based runtime. I was wondering if there was any way to work around this problem. Any help is appreciated.
Note: SQL Edge module from Microsoft Marketplace is up and running and we are able to create database on Edge SQL, followed this tutorial “Deploy Azure SQL Edge using the Azure portal | Microsoft Learn”

Thanks for posting this question in Microsoft Q&A forum.
As I understand from the question, you want to perform Sql Data Sync between Azure SQL Edge which is on-premise on ubuntu and Azure SQL Database.
For On-Premise Data Sync, there has to be a SQL Azure Data Sync Agent which can be downloaded from SQL Azure Data Sync Agent.
However, it has Supported Operating System as Windows 10, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Vista.
Let me check if there is any workaround for this. I will get back to you. Thanks
Thanks for your patience.
I have checked with the internal team there is no plan to release Data Sync Agent for Ubuntu in near future.
I am further checking if there exists a workaround for your case.
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. We will work on Windows. Keep posted the updates
I have checked with the internal team.
We recommend you to try using 3rd party OSS solutions like: ReplicaDB - Open Source Database Replication Software (osalvador.github.io) and SymmetricDS | Open Source Database Replication
This will require a setup to be created but would work reliably.
Please try and let us know if you are able to proceed in your use case.
