Microsoft D8s v4 Azure Reserved Virtual Machine

Apply reserved-instance pricing to matching Microsoft Azure D8s v4 virtual machine usage in the US South Central region. D8s v4 is a general-purpose Azure VM size with 8 vCPUs and 32 GiB of memory, providing a balanced compute and memory profile for continuously operated application services, web tiers, business platforms, and middleware workloads. The D8s v4 size supports Premium SSD storage, making it appropriate where VM-attached storage performance matters alongside predictable CPU and memory allocation. Its eight-core configuration fits workloads that have moved beyond small service instances but do not require the larger memory footprint or core count of higher Dsv4 sizes. The reservation applies to eligible usage of this specific VM family, size, and regional deployment target. Microsoft DZH318Z0CSHJ-011N corresponds to the D8s v4 Azure Reserved Instance for US South Central. It provides a reserved-pricing construct for the named Azure compute configuration rather than a deployable operating system image or a separate virtual machine resource. The virtual machine remains provisioned, configured, and managed through Azure, while the reservation is associated with qualifying D8s v4 consumption in the specified region.
