Easv6 and Eadsv6-series (Preview)
Applies to: ✔️ Linux VMs ✔️ Windows VMs ✔️ Flexible scale sets ✔️ Uniform scale sets
Important
Azure Virtual Machine Series Easv6 and Eadsv6 are currently in PREVIEW. See the Supplemental Terms of Use for Microsoft Azure Previews for legal terms that apply to Azure features that are in beta, preview, or otherwise not yet released into general availability.
The Easv6-series and Eadsv6-series utilize AMD's 4th Generation EPYCTM 9004 processor in a multi-threaded configuration with up to 320 MB L3 cache, increasing customer options for running most memory optimized workloads. The Easv6-series VMs are ideal for memory-intensive enterprise applications, data warehousing, business intelligence, in-memory analytics, and financial transactions.
Note
The new Easv6 and Eadsv6 VM series will only work on OS images that are tagged with NVMe support. If your current OS image is not supported for NVMe, you’ll see an error message. NVMe support is available in 50+ of the most popular OS images, and we continuously improve the OS image coverage. Please refer to our up-to-date lists for information on which OS images are tagged as NVMe supported. For more information on NVMe enablement, see our FAQ.
The new Easv6 and Eadsv6 VM series virtual machines public preview now available. For more information and to sign up for the preview, please visit our announcement and follow the link to the sign-up form. This is an opportunity to experience our latest innovation.
Easv6-series
Easv6-series VMs utilize AMD's 4th Generation EPYCTM 9004 processors that can achieve a boosted maximum frequency of 3.7GHz. These virtual machines offer up to 96 vCPU and 672 GiB of RAM. The Easv6-series sizes offer a combination of vCPU and memory that is ideal for memory-intensive enterprise applications. The new VMs with no local disk provide a better value proposition for workloads that do not require local temporary storage.
Note
For frequently asked questions, see Azure VM sizes with no local temp disk.

Size table definitions
Storage capacity is shown in units of GiB or 1024^3 bytes. When you compare disks measured in GB (1000^3 bytes) to disks measured in GiB (1024^3) remember that capacity numbers given in GiB may appear smaller. For example, 1023 GiB = 1098.4 GB.
Disk throughput is measured in input/output operations per second (IOPS) and MBps where MBps = 10^6 bytes/sec.
Data disks can operate in cached or uncached modes. For cached data disk operation, the host cache mode is set to ReadOnly or ReadWrite. For uncached data disk operation, the host cache mode is set to None.
To learn how to get the best storage performance for your VMs, see Virtual machine and disk performance.
Expected network bandwidth is the maximum aggregated bandwidth allocated per VM type across all NICs, for all destinations. For more information, see Virtual machine network bandwidth.
Upper limits aren't guaranteed. Limits offer guidance for selecting the right VM type for the intended application. Actual network performance will depend on several factors including network congestion, application loads, and network settings. For information on optimizing network throughput, see Optimize network throughput for Azure virtual machines. To achieve the expected network performance on Linux or Windows, you may need to select a specific version or optimize your VM. For more information, see Bandwidth/Throughput testing (NTTTCP).
