# Virtual machine size flexibility with Reserved VM Instances
99

10-
With a reserved virtual machine instance that's optimized for instance size flexibility, the reservation you buy can apply to the virtual machines (VMs) sizes in the same size series group. For example, if you buy a reservation for a VM size that's listed in the DSv2-series table, like Standard_DS5_v2, the reservation discount can apply to the five sizes that are listed in that same table: Standard_DS1_v2, Standard_DS2_v2, Standard_DS3_v2, Standard_DS4_v2, and Standard_DS5_v2. But that reservation discount doesn't apply to VMs sizes that are listed in different tables, like what's in the DSv2-series high memory table: Standard_DS11_v2, Standard_DS12_v2, and so on.

For example, if you buy a reservation for a VM size that's listed in the DSv2-series table, like Standard_DS5_v2, the reservation discount can apply to the other four sizes that are listed in that same table:

Within the size series group, the number of VMs the reservation discount applies to depends on the VM size you pick when you buy a reserved instance. It also depends on the sizes of the VMs that you have running. The ratio column that's listed in the following tables compares the relative footprint for each VM size in that group. Use the ratio value to calculate how the reservation discount applies to the VMs you have running. Here are some examples using the sizes and ratios in the DSv2-series table:

You buy a reserved VM instance with the size Standard_DS4_v2 where the ratio or relative footprint compared to the other sizes in that series is 8.
