Microsoft D64ds v4 Azure VM Reservation for US West

Apply reserved Azure virtual machine pricing to qualifying D64ds v4 compute usage in the US West region. This cloud entitlement aligns with the Ddsv4-series D64ds v4 configuration, which provides 64 vCPUs and 256 GiB of memory for substantial application, database, analytics, and virtual desktop workloads. It is a cloud commercial entitlement rather than a physical server or appliance. D64ds v4 combines the Ddsv4 series' local temporary storage with Premium SSD support. The virtual machine configuration includes 1,200 GiB of temporary local storage, while Premium SSD support lets attached managed disks be selected separately for persistent application data. Temporary storage is appropriate for transient files, cache data, and workload scratch space rather than data requiring persistence across VM lifecycle events. Microsoft DZH318Z0CSHM-00K1 applies to D64ds v4 usage in US West, so the deployed VM size and region must match the reserved configuration for the reservation benefit to apply. The reservation concerns virtual machine compute consumption; managed disks, networking, software licensing, backup, and other Azure services remain separate service components. This makes the entitlement relevant where a known D64ds v4 workload will remain active long enough to justify reserved Azure compute pricing.
