Microsoft E96-48AS_V4 Azure VM Reservation

Assign reserved Azure compute coverage to the E96-48AS_V4 virtual-machine configuration in the US North Central region. Microsoft DZH318Z0CM2D-01CV identifies an Azure Reserved Instance selection for the Easv4 series and this specific constrained-vCPU configuration. It pairs 48 available vCPUs with the memory profile associated with the E96 size designation. The E96-48as_v4 naming identifies a constrained-vCPU option rather than a standard full-vCPU E96 configuration. The E96 memory profile provides 672 GiB of memory, while the 48 designation limits the available virtual CPU count to 48. This combination suits memory-intensive workloads that benefit from a large RAM allocation but do not require the full compute count associated with the E96 profile. Use this selection where deployed Azure virtual machines match the Easv4 series, E96-48as_v4 size, and US North Central region. The reservation identifies compute coverage for a defined VM family, size configuration, and region; it does not define the operating system image or application workload running on the virtual machine. Validate the deployed VM size and regional placement against the selected configuration before assignment.
