You may find several SKUs supporting your selected VM series (with different Types). Identify the best SKU by comparing the capacity of the host (number of vCPUs). Note that you will be able to apply your reservation to multiple dedicated hosts SKUs supporting the same VM series (for example DSv3_Type1 and DSv3_Type2) but not across different VM series (like DSv3 and ESv3).
