Microsoft E8ds v4 US East 2 VM Reservation

Apply Azure Reserved Instance pricing to eligible E8ds v4 virtual machine usage in the US East 2 region. The E8ds v4 size belongs to Azure's memory-optimized EDSv4 family and provides 8 vCPUs with 64 GiB of memory. It suits workloads that require a higher memory allocation per processor core, including database services, application servers, analytics processes, and memory-resident caches. DZH318Z0CSHK-01XT identifies the reservation for this specific E8ds v4 configuration and regional scope. It is a cloud licensing entitlement rather than a physical server or a virtual machine deployment package. The reservation does not create a VM; Azure virtual machines must be deployed separately in a configuration eligible to receive the reservation benefit. This selection is distinguished within the EDSv4 family by its E8ds v4 size target and US East 2 assignment. The "d" designation identifies a VM size with local temporary storage, while the "s" designation indicates Premium SSD storage support for the deployed VM. Select this reservation when the planned Azure estate uses the E8ds v4 memory and processor profile in US East 2, rather than a different VM size or region.
