Microsoft E16s v4 Azure Virtual Machine Reservation

Reserve qualifying Microsoft Azure E16s v4 virtual machine usage for workloads deployed in the US North Central region. E16s v4 is a memory-optimized Azure VM size with 16 vCPU and 128 GiB of memory, providing 8 GiB per vCPU for applications whose memory requirement is higher than a general-purpose virtual machine allocation. The reservation applies to matching Azure virtual machine usage rather than supplying physical hardware. Use this reservation for steady-state workloads that run on the E16s v4 size in the specified Azure region. Typical examples include database servers, distributed caches, in-memory analytics components, application servers with large JVM or .NET memory allocations, and virtualized infrastructure services. Regional matching matters: the covered usage must run in US North Central and match the applicable Azure VM attributes for the reservation benefit to apply. Within the Es v4 family, the E16s v4 configuration combines 16 vCPU with 128 GiB memory and support for Premium SSD storage. The “s” designation identifies the storage-capable E-series variant, while the E-series targets memory-intensive workloads. DZH318Z0CSHL-02P7 is the Microsoft ordering code associated with this E16s v4 Azure reservation configuration.
