Hi Alex,

You're not going to be able to create VM that exactly meets the specs given.

I'm assuming that the GPU is critical part of the requirement, so I think you should focus on that first. If my assumption is incorrect then please let me know.

There are a limited number of GPU types available in Azure. Please review article below and see if one of the GPUs (and associated CPU) will be acceptable for your user's workload:

Once you have an acceptable instance type picked out you can decide which size you need, whether you need Premium or Standard SSD, etc. Please note that you may need to request quota increase before you will be able to create the N-series VM your user needs.

Hello, @Alex Rabbi !

What VM size should I pick to match my specifications? What about GPU VMs?

If you need an NVIDIA GPU on your VM, you'll need to pick something from the N series virtual machines. It depends on how strict your requirements are but you could look at the NCasT4_v3-series if an NVIDIA Tesla T4 will work but you can scale all the way up to the new NDm A100 v4-series. If you provide more details about the GPU requirements, I can make additional suggestions.

A full list of Azure VM sizes can be found here:

Answer 3

As per above suggestion i requested quota and I have deployed a Win10 VM, but i am unable to ping it using internal IP or external IP and i cannot RDP.

Is there anything I need to configure in networking ? Also what username / PW should i use ? is there a default username ?

Regards,

Alex
