I found out that these VM's had reservations applied to them. The change is the point in time where it moved from a regular meter type onto a discounted reservation instance!
Azure VM pricing question
Hello,
One of my VM's for last month cost the below.
I'm struggling to work out what each part is for.
I expected to see 1 item for the compute cost and one item for the OS licence cost. but I seem to have 2 compute cost and 1 OS licence cost.
I understand no cost for SQL as we have hybrid. But why is there 2 compute amounts?
Virtual Machines Ev3 Series VM E8 v3/E8s v3 203.91
Virtual Machines Ev3 Series Windows VM E8 v3/E8s v3 183.78
Virtual Machines Licenses Windows Server 8 vCPU VM License 131.34
Virtual Machines Licenses SQL Server Azure Hybrid Benefit Enterprise Edition 0
Thanks

Thank you very much for the update! It makes sense that the switch from a standard VM to an Azure Reserved Virtual Machine Instance would generate two very similar looking charges on your bill. Thank you again for following up!
