Launch of RHEL Software Reservations

Microsoft announce that Software Reservations for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) are generally available. There are now 32 members of the Reservations family where you can receive a discount on an Azure service by making a duration-based commitment. For an RHEL Software Reservation you need to commit for a year, and you can expect discounts of up to 24% when you run RHEL software on Azure virtual machines. As we expect with Reservations, this Software Reservation is applied automatically to any deployed RHEL VMs that match the Reservation, and there’s also instance size flexibility which means that the discount is applied even when you deploy a VM with a different virtual core count from the Reservation.
