I’m running Azure VMs for a high-demand application and experiencing CPU throttling and slow disk IO during peak times. What are the best practices for optimizing performance? Should I adjust VM sizing, use managed disks, or tweak caching settings?

    Hi DexterHale,

    To optimize your VM I think you should consider hybrid scaling; this has proven to be best in most scenarios by giving you the best features of vertical and horizontal scaling, respectively.

    I'll also recommend that you look at the Azure Advisor dashboard for recommendations

    You should refer to this documentation if you need clarity
