List of Azure VM series/sizes with no local temporary disk

AmanpreetSingh-MSFT 56,871 Moderator

I am looking for complete list of Azure VM sizes with no local temporary disk. In the document below, only two VM series - Dasv5 and Easv5 are provided. Are there more VM series that no longer have Temp disk? If yes, please share those VM series.

Hello AmanpreetSingh, Several Azure VM series do not come with a local temporary disk, suitable for workloads that don’t require local storage. Here’s a list of Azure VM series as I know not use a temporary disk:

Dv5 and Dsv5-series: General-purpose VMs for a variety of workloads.
Dasv5 and Easv5-series: Newer general-purpose and memory-optimized VMs that omit temporary disks.
Dasv6-series: General-purpose VMs using AMD’s 4th Generation EPYC™ processors.
Dpsv6-series: General-purpose VMs with Azure’s first-generation Cobalt 100 processor.
Epsv5-series: Memory-optimized VMs powered by Ampere Altra processors.
DCasv5-series: Confidential VMs that provide enhanced security features without temporary disks.
DCas_cc_v5-series: Confidential VMs designed for confidential computing without local temporary storage.

For more details, see:
