Lowest and highest price by billing term

Each row compares one billing term in one currency across the regions that list it. Billing terms and currencies are never mixed or converted, and a stale price is compared only when no fresh one exists.

Standard_F2s_v2: cheapest and most expensive region per billing term, native hourly price.

Architecture x86-64 from the Host specifications Processor row "Intel Xeon Platinum 8370C (Ice Lake) [x86-64] Intel Xeon Platinum 8272CL (Cascade Lake) [x86-64] Intel Xeon Platinum 8168 (Skylake) [x86-64] Intel Xeon Platinum 8573C (Emerald Rapids) [x86-64]" (articles/virtual-machines/sizes/compute-optimized/includes/fsv2-series-specs.md, blob 45da2e6b791b, reviewed 2026-10-21); the row lists several processors and a VM may run on any of them, so no single CPU model is recorded. The Azure Retail Prices API itself publishes no specifications; GPU, storage and network remain unknown.
Windows, Dev/Test, and Low Priority meters and other products listed under the same size name (such as Cloud Services) are excluded. Linux is represented by the API retail meters of the Virtual Machines product that are not labeled Windows.
