Microsoft DZH318Z0CSHK-01XZ Azure E4-2ds v4 VM Reservation

Reserve eligible Azure compute consumption for the E4-2ds v4 virtual machine size in US East 2. Microsoft DZH318Z0CSHK-01XZ is an Azure Reserved Instance offer for the EDSv4 family rather than a deployable virtual machine image, operating system license, or physical server. It applies reservation pricing to matching Azure virtual machine usage under the applicable Azure reservation configuration. The E4-2ds v4 configuration is a constrained-core member of the memory-optimized Edsv4 range. It provides 2 vCPUs with 32 GiB of memory, allowing workloads that need the memory allocation of the E4 platform while licensing or sizing around a lower active vCPU count. The “d” designation provides temporary local disk storage, while “s” denotes support for Premium SSD managed disks. These characteristics make the size relevant for memory-weighted application services, data-processing components, and workloads with per-core software considerations. Region alignment is material for this reservation: it is specified for US East 2 and for E4-2ds v4 compute within the EDSv4 generation. Select it when the deployed or planned Azure workload matches that VM size, series, and region. The constrained-core profile differentiates it from full-core E-series configurations by retaining the platform memory ratio while exposing fewer vCPUs, which can change both application capacity planning and software licensing calculations.
