Azure Virtual Machine Sizes

Explore the diverse range of Azure Virtual Machine (VM) sizes, designed to meet a wide spectrum of application needs and workloads. From general-purpose to compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, and GPU-enabled, find the perfect VM to scale your cloud solutions.

General Purpose VMs

Dsv3 Series

Balanced CPU-to-memory ratio, ideal for development, testing, small to medium databases, and web servers.

vCPU: 2 - 64
RAM: 8 GiB - 256 GiB
Temp Storage: Up to 1.9 TB SSD

B Series (Burstable)

Cost-effective VMs for workloads that don't need sustained high CPU performance, such as dev/test, build servers, and microservices.

vCPU: 1 - 8
RAM: 1 GiB - 32 GiB
Burstable: Yes

Av2 Series

Low-cost, entry-level VMs for workloads requiring less compute power, like small web servers, dev/test environments, and sample applications.

vCPU: 1 - 8
RAM: 1 GiB - 32 GiB
Storage: HDD

Compute Optimized VMs

Fsv2 Series

High CPU-to-memory ratio, suitable for compute-intensive workloads such as batch processing, web servers, and high-performance computing (HPC).

vCPU: 2 - 72
RAM: 4 GiB - 144 GiB
Temp Storage: Up to 3.8 TB SSD

Fx Series

Similar to Fsv2, offering great value for compute-intensive applications.

vCPU: 2 - 16
RAM: 4 GiB - 32 GiB
Temp Storage: Up to 2 TB SSD

Memory Optimized VMs

Ev5 Series

High memory-to-CPU ratio, ideal for relational database servers, caching, and in-memory analytics.

vCPU: 2 - 80
RAM: 16 GiB - 480 GiB
Temp Storage: Up to 1.9 TB NVMe SSD

Mv2 Series

Extremely large memory footprint, designed for the largest relational database servers and enterprise resource planning (ERP) workloads.

vCPU: 8 - 416
RAM: 128 GiB - 4 TB
Temp Storage: Up to 3.8 TB NVMe SSD

Storage Optimized VMs

Lsv2 Series

High local storage performance and IOPS, optimized for big data analytics, NoSQL databases, and data warehousing.

vCPU: 8 - 80
RAM: 64 GiB - 640 GiB
Local Storage: Up to 192 TB NVMe SSD

GPU Enabled VMs

NC T4 v3 Series

Powered by NVIDIA T4 GPUs, suitable for machine learning inference, visualization, and gaming.

vCPU: 4 - 80
RAM: 28 GiB - 448 GiB
GPU: NVIDIA T4

NDm A100 v4 Series

High-performance computing (HPC) and deep learning training with NVIDIA A100 GPUs.

vCPU: 12 - 96
RAM: 114 GiB - 912 GiB
GPU: NVIDIA A100
