Microsoft D96as v4 Azure Virtual Machine Reservation

Microsoft DZH318Z0CM2C-00XK represents Azure Reserved Instance coverage for D96as v4 virtual-machine compute in the US West Central region. Rather than deploying a physical appliance or installing software, it applies to qualifying Azure compute consumption for the associated virtual-machine configuration. D96as v4 provides 96 vCPUs and 384 GiB of memory, supporting large workloads that need substantial processor and memory resources within a single Azure VM. The D96as v4 configuration belongs to Azure's AMD-based Das v4 virtual-machine family. Its 4 GiB-per-vCPU memory ratio suits workloads that scale with both processor count and memory capacity, including application tiers, data processing services, database servers, and consolidated infrastructure roles. Reserved Instance coverage applies to virtual-machine compute; it does not itself define a guest operating-system image, managed disks, public IP addresses, or application software. Regional alignment matters for Azure reservations. This product is specific to US West Central and to the D96as v4 compute configuration, allowing buyers to match the reservation with eligible consumption in that Azure location. The 96-vCPU size distinguishes it from smaller Das v4 options where CPU count, memory capacity, and workload consolidation requirements differ. Confirm that the intended Azure workload uses the D96as v4 family and is deployed in US West Central before assigning reservation coverage.
