Microsoft E2ds v4 West Central US VM Reservation

Apply reserved-instance pricing to eligible Azure E2ds v4 compute consumption in the West Central US region. Microsoft DZH318Z0CSHK-0189 corresponds to the E2ds v4 virtual machine configuration, a memory-optimized E-series size with 2 vCPU and 16 GiB of memory. It applies to Azure VM compute usage rather than creating, deploying, or configuring a virtual machine. E2ds v4 fits workloads whose memory requirement is high relative to processor count, including application services, in-memory data tiers, smaller database workloads, and infrastructure roles with substantial cache requirements. The E-series designation identifies the memory-optimized VM family. Its 8 GiB-per-vCPU ratio differs from general-purpose Azure VM configurations and should be matched to the resource profile of the target workload. The ds designation identifies a configuration with local temporary storage capability and Premium SSD support, while v4 identifies the VM generation. Reservation coverage applies within the stated Azure region and to the matching VM family and size. Storage, networking, operating-system software, and workload management remain separate Azure services or customer configuration responsibilities. Review the deployed VM size and region before assigning reservation coverage so the eligible compute usage matches this E2ds v4 reservation.
