Provide the sample VM SKU for each

Question

I have received a retirement notice stating that the D, Ds, Dv2, Dsv2, and Ls series Azure Virtual Machines will be retired.

To clarify the affected SKUs, could you please provide sample VM SKUs for each series? The exact names used in the Azure portal would be helpful, as the high-level markings are causing confusion and making it difficult for us to determine which specific SKUs will be impacted.

Standard_D1 to Standard_D4

Standard_DS1 to Standard_DS4

Standard_D11 to Standard_D14

Standard_DS11 to Standard_DS14

Dv2/Dsv2 series: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/sizes/memory-optimized/dv2-dsv2-series-memory

Standard_D1v2 to Standard_D5_v2

Standard_DS1v2 to Standard_DS5_v2

Standard_D11_v2 to Standard_D15_v2

Standard_DS11_v2 to Standard_DS15_v2

Standard_D2_v2_Promo to Standard_D5_v2_Promo
