Expected network bandwith for azure b-series

Question

Hello,

according the documentation of the azure vm b-series: https://learn.microsoft.com/de-de/azure/virtual-machines/sizes-b-series-burstable

there is unfortunetaly no specification for the „expected network bandwidth“ like for the av2-series.

Can you please tell me, which range of expected network bandwidth are available for the b-series?

thank you!

Best regards,
Sebastian

Hi @Sebastian ,

you can find the answer here from GitaraniSharmaMSFT-4262 :

Quote:

As per the Azure Compute backend team, the B-series is variable, so they have not published any networking numbers that may not always be accurate. The design of the B series does not provide the user with a consistent level of network performance. In addition, the B series is designed for more CPU intensive workloads as that is what we are really scaling out depending on credits. If network bandwidth is an issue then the B series is likely not the best choice.
