For websites, small-to-medium databases, and other everyday applications.

The latest generation of A-Series, Av2 Standard, has similar CPU performance and faster disk. Suitable for development workloads, build servers, code repositories, low-traffic websites and web applications, Av2 Standard also works for micro services, early product experiments, and small databases.

For large databases, SharePoint server farms, and high-throughput applications.

Available in select data centers. A8 and A9 virtual machines feature Intel Xeon E5 processors and a 32 Gbit/s InfiniBand network with remote direct memory access (RDMA) technology. Ideal for Message Passing Interface (MPI) applications, high-performance clusters, modeling and simulations, video encoding, and other compute or network intensive scenarios.

The H-series is a new family specifically designed to handle high performance computing workloads such as financial risk modeling, seismic and reservoir simulation, molecular modeling, and genomic research. They are based on the Intel Xeon E5-2667 v3 Haswell 3.2 GHz (3.6 GHz with turbo) with DDR 4 memory. Turbo is always on for H-series instances. Two of the H-series configurations (H16r, H16mr) also carry a second low latency, high-throughput network interface (RDMA) optimized and tuned for tightly coupled parallel computing workloads such as MPI applications.

Available in select data centers. A10 and A11 virtual machines feature Intel Xeon E5 processors. For high-performance clusters, modeling and simulations, video encoding, and other compute or network intensive scenarios. They're similar to A8 and A9 instance configuration without the InfiniBand network and RDMA technology.

D-Series virtual machines feature solid state drives (SSDs) and faster processors than the A-Series, and its also available for web or worker roles in Azure Cloud Services. This series is ideal for applications that demand faster CPUs, better local disk performance, or higher memories.

For websites, small-to-medium databases, and other everyday applications.

For large databases, SharePoint server farms, and high-throughput applications.

Dv2-Series instances are the next generation of D-Series instances that can be used as virtual machines or cloud services. Dv2-Series instances will carry more powerful CPUs which are on average about 35% faster than D-Series instances, and carry the same memory and disk configurations as the D-Series. Dv2-Series instances are based on the latest generation 2.4 GHz Intel Xeon E5-2673 v3 (Haswell) processor, and with Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 can go to 3.2 GHz. Dv2-Series and D-Series are ideal for applications that demand faster CPUs, better local disk performance, or higher memories, and offer a powerful combination for many enterprise-grade applications.

For websites, small-to-medium databases, and other everyday applications.

For large databases, SharePoint server farms, and high-throughput applications.

Great for relational database servers, medium to large caches, and in-memory analytics.

G-Series virtual machines feature Intel Xeon processor E5 v3 family and provide unparalleled computational performance to support large database workloads, specifically SAP, HANA, SQL Server, Hadoop, DataZen, and Hortonworks. The G5 instance is isolated to hardware dedicated to a single customer.

High disk throughput and IO. Ideal for Big Data, SQL, and NoSQL databases

The Lsv2-series features high throughput, low latency, directly mapped local NVMe storage running on the AMD EPYCTM 7551 processor with an all core boost of 2.55GHz and a max boost of 3.0GHz. The Lsv2-series VMs come in sizes from 8 to 80 vCPU in a simultaneous multi-threading configuration. There is 8 GiB of memory per vCPU, and one 1.92TB NVMe SSD M.2 device per 8 vCPUs, with up to 19.2TB (10x1.92TB) available on the L80s v2.
