Microsoft E96a v4 Azure VM Reservation

Apply a Microsoft Azure Reserved Instance benefit to qualifying Eav4 Series E96a v4 virtual-machine compute consumption in the US North Central region. This cloud service applies to the E96a v4 size designation within the Azure Eav4 family rather than to a physical appliance, cable, or downloadable application. DZH318Z0CM29-00W9 is the ordering code for this regional VM reservation and addresses planned compute use that can be matched to the specified Azure VM family and size. Azure Eav4 virtual machines are memory-optimized instances, and E96a v4 denotes the 96-vCPU size in that family. The E96a v4 configuration provides 768 GiB of memory for workloads that need a high memory-to-vCPU ratio, such as large in-memory databases, analytics processing, enterprise application servers, and dense virtualized workloads. The reservation is specific to Eav4 Series E96a v4 usage in US North Central; eligible matching VM compute use is required for the reserved-instance benefit to apply. This service does not create a virtual machine or provide a VM image, managed disk, public IP address, network services, backup service, or application software. Those Azure resources remain separately configured for the workload. Within the Eav4 reservation family, the defining distinction is the E96a v4 size and its US North Central regional association, helping administrators match the reservation to the intended compute footprint rather than a different VM series or region.
