You can now get capacity SLA when reserving capacity for these specialty SKUs using On Demand Capacity Reservations. Existing capabilities will apply to specialty SKUs as well for On Demand capacity reservation. For example, unused reserved capacity and Virtual Machines using reserved capacity are both eligible for Azure Reserved Virtual Machine Instance term discounts.

 

Existing and Future capabilities:

 

For the above mentioned additional supported series for N, at VM deployment, Fault Domain (FD) count of 1 can be set using Virtual Machines Scale Sets. A deployment with more than 1 will fail to deploy against a Capacity Reservation. FD>1 will be supported at future release.

 

The VM deployment methods supported with on demand capacity reservations for specialty SKUs are single VMs and Virtual Machine Scale Sets using uniform orchestration mode. Virtual Machine Scale Sets flexible orchestration mode is in public preview. Please read the documentation to learn more.
