Microsoft STANDARD_D12_V2 Windows Azure Virtual Machine

Run Windows workloads on an Azure Standard D12 v2 virtual machine in the US West 2 region, with compute measured by the hour. This capacity maps to the D12 v2 size: 4 virtual CPUs and 28 GiB of memory for applications that need more memory per core than smaller general-purpose configurations. The Windows VM meter includes the Windows operating system component for the deployed virtual machine. The D12 v2 configuration provides 200 GB of temporary local storage for transient files, caches, and scratch data. Temporary storage is not a substitute for persistent application data; place databases, retained files, and shared content on Azure managed disks or another persistent Azure storage service. Four vCPUs suit services with moderate parallel processing, while 28 GiB of memory supports memory-heavy application tiers, build agents, and test environments. Use 37171A8505B8 when the deployment needs Windows compute-hour consumption for this VM size in US West 2. The meter is tied to the selected virtual machine size, Windows operating system category, and Azure region, so it should match the workload's regional and operating-system requirements. It represents cloud compute consumption rather than a shipped appliance, local hypervisor license, or perpetual software entitlement.
