Reserved Instance Ubuntu Pro on Azure

I have a customer looking to move their templated builds from the standard Ubuntu 22.04 LTS version to the Ubuntu PRO 22.04LTS available on the marketplace.  If they move to the PRO build and apply a reservation to the VM, such as a 1year on a D2s_V3, will they see the same discounts on those PRO machines? How would it work?

Thanks,

Tony

    As long as your existing Reservation falls in the same category and size, ie D2S or the specific number of cores, and the Reservation scope (ie Subscription, Resource Group) it should flick over once the old one is turned off. You may find yourself running a mix of reserved instances and Pay As you Go while both VMs are up and running.

    Azure Reservations are based on Compute (ie 2 vCPU, and Family - ie D2) and not by OS.
