Hello, Wrt Oct 15th email with subject "Action recommended: Review your Azure Reserved VM Instances orders for retiring VM series", can you please let me know if any of below VM sizes are impacted?

  • Standard_B2ms
  • Standard_B2s
  • Standard_B4ms
  • Standard_B8ms

The email, document and community forums are all very confusing and give different answers.
