What do you mean when you say "Standard" Azure VM?

Additional information: Best practices:
Here are some effective ways to best utilize Azure Spot Virtual Machines:

• For long-running operations, try to create checkpoints so that you can restart your workload from a previous known checkpoint to handle evictions and save time.
• In scale-out scenarios, to save costs, you can have two VMSS, where one has regular Virtual Machines and the other has Spot Virtual Machines. You can put both in the same load balancer to opportunistically scale out.
• Listen to eviction notifications in the Virtual Machine to get notified when your Virtual Machine is about to be evicted.
• If you are willing to utilize pay-as-you-go prices, then use Eviction type to “Capacity Eviction only”, in the API provide “-1” as max price as Azure never charges you more than the Spot Virtual Machine price.
• To handle evictions, build a retry logic to redeploy Virtual Machines. If you do not require a specific Virtual Machine series and size, then try to deploy a different size that matches your workload needs.
• While deploying VMSS, select max spread in portal management tab or FD==1 in the API to find capacity in a zone

When you buy a Reserved VM Instance, you can choose to optimize for instance size flexibility or capacity priority. For more information about setting or changing the optimize setting for reserved VM instances, see Change the optimize setting for reserved VM instances.
An Azure RI ‘VM group’ is simply a list of VMs to which instance size flexibility can be applied. A VM group is not aligned with the existing Azure VM series. Please refer to the documentation for a list of RI VM groups and additional details.
