A new addition, Azure Capacity Blocks (ACB):
“allow Customers to purchase a fixed duration block of capacity for a specific Microsoft Azure resource in a specified region, with a scheduled start date in the future.”
They can range from 1 day to 6 months, they are fully paid for upfront, and cannot be cancelled or refunded. Unused portions of ACBs will not be refunded either. Once the term ends, customers “will be evicted from the applicable capacity, and Microsoft will stop Customer’s use of the applicable Microsoft Azure Services.”
When I initially looked, there was a Learn site for this new release but I cannot find it now. Not sure if it’s been removed or I (and ChatGPT) just aren’t looking in the right place all of a sudden 🤔
This new offering must be related to the capacity issues that Microsoft have been having in their Azure datacentres – will it help prevent that from reoccuring?
