Microsoft E8-4ds v4 Azure VM Reservation for US East 2

Apply reserved virtual machine compute pricing to eligible Microsoft Azure E8-4ds v4 usage in the US East 2 region. DZH318Z0CSHK-01XX corresponds to the E8-4ds v4 Azure virtual machine configuration, a constrained-core member of the memory-optimized E-series. It combines 4 available vCPUs with 64 GiB of memory, supporting applications whose memory requirement is larger than their sustained CPU requirement. The E8-4ds v4 size fits services such as memory-intensive application servers, data-processing components, caching tiers, and database workloads where memory allocation must be maintained while compute cores are deliberately limited. The ds designation identifies a configuration with local temporary storage and Premium SSD storage support. Azure virtual machine reservations apply to qualifying compute consumption in the selected region rather than creating or deploying a separate virtual machine. Use this reservation when the deployed workload is specifically sized as E8-4ds v4 and runs in US East 2. The constrained-core E8-4ds v4 configuration distinguishes it from standard E-series sizes by retaining 64 GiB of memory while exposing 4 vCPUs. That balance can suit licensed software or services that need memory headroom while limiting core-based consumption. Match the reservation to the virtual machine family, size, and regional usage targeted by the workload.
