Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

The purchase provides a billing discount; a separate supported capacity reservation is needed to secure capacity

A Reserved VM Instance is a price commitment rather than a hardware guarantee. It neither guarantees arbitrary SKUs nor changes all quotas, and it does not change Spot's eviction model. A capacity reservation addresses the separate capacity requirement. Source guide: PDF page(s) 45.
