What is the availability of single virtual machine in Azure for a 16 vCPU & 32 GiB RAM running RHEL 8.5?

Question

Hi,

I am spinning up an environment and want to know - What is the availability of single virtual machine in Azure for a 16 vCPU & 32 GiB RAM running RHEL 8.5?

As per MS documentation availability set has 99.99% availability. But since mine is not a mission critical environment, I would like to go with just one VM.

Thanks,

Hitendra

Answer 1

Hi Hitendra,

The Service Level Agreement (SLA) for single-instance Azure VM depends on the lowest-level SLA of the disk(s) you use with the VM. For example, if your VM uses all Premium SSD disks then the SLA would be 99.9%. Please see chart below from October 2023 Online services SLA document:
