Microsoft E48ds v4 Azure Virtual Machine Reserved Instance

Apply Azure Reserved Instance pricing to qualifying E48ds v4 virtual machine usage in the US West Central Azure region. Microsoft DZH318Z0CSHK-018K identifies the reservation SKU associated with that VM size and geography. It concerns the commercial treatment of eligible Azure compute consumption rather than a physical server, appliance, or separately installed software package. The reservation applies alongside an Azure subscription and does not itself create, configure, or operate a virtual machine. E48ds v4 belongs to Azure's memory-optimized Edsv4 virtual machine series. This size provides 48 vCPUs and 384 GiB of memory for workloads whose working sets need more memory per core than general-purpose VM families provide. The d designation denotes local temporary storage, while the s designation indicates Premium SSD storage support. Use the matching E48ds v4 size when workload requirements, operating system image, networking configuration, and storage design are already established in Azure. Region matching matters for this reservation. Keep eligible E48ds v4 workloads in US West Central so Azure can apply the reservation benefit to matching usage under the reservation settings. This item identifies E48ds v4 specifically rather than all Edsv4 sizes, so it should not be substituted for a different VM size merely because both configurations are memory optimized. It is intended for Azure compute consumption matching the named size and region.
