Why are Reservations not available for Ddsv5 instances on Azure PostgreSQL Flexible Server?

Question

I'm calculating the cost of Azure PostgreSQL Flexible Server which uses Ddsv5 instance and notice that Reservations for this series and Dadsv5 instances are not available. Is there an explanation for this? Reservations are available for the older Ddsv4 and Dsv3 series but not for the newer series?

The same goes to Edsv5 and Eadsv5 series. No reservations available, only v4 and v3 series can purchase reservations.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Hi Pitawat,

Thanks for your patience.

We have got the below reply from internal team:

Reservations are not available for V5 SKu’s yet.

Creating new reservations is a time-consuming process and it will not be available until next year.

We recommend you to raise feedback over Azure Feedback Channel for Azure Database for PostgreSQL so that concerned team could consider this feature depending on the importance and up-votes received.

Hope this helps. Please let us know if you have further queries.

Thanks

Answer 2

Still waiting for reservation of SKUs in v5 series.

Answer 3

It appears the reservation of "Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server General Purpose - Ddsv5 Series Compute" is now available in the portal.

Can everyone confirm?
