Microsoft D96as v4 Azure Virtual Machine Reservation

Apply Azure Reserved Instance coverage to qualifying Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines usage associated with the D96as v4 size in the US West Central region. This cloud offering aligns with the Das v4 virtual machine series and is intended for regional workloads that run on the specified Azure compute configuration. It is a cloud licensing service rather than a physical server or appliance. The D96as v4 profile provides 96 vCPUs and 384 GiB of memory. That capacity profile suits large application tiers, data-processing workers, virtual desktop host pools, and other compute-intensive services that require substantial CPU and memory resources in one Azure virtual machine. Regional selection matters: this reservation is for US West Central usage, so it should align with the region of the deployed workloads. Microsoft part number DZH318Z0CM2C-00XJ identifies the Azure Reserved Instance offering for this D96as v4 and Das v4 combination. The reservation applies to eligible virtual machine usage; it does not create, configure, or operate a virtual machine by itself. Pair it with an Azure deployment that uses the matching D96as v4 resource profile and region, while sizing the reservation quantity and term to the workload's expected runtime.
