Disk performance to be unlimited

Question

One of our client is using VM Standard_D16s_v3 with disk P40. We need to let him improve the disk throughput and IOPs.
One of the option is to enable 'on-demand bursting'.
Here I see the limitation is unlimited for P40 disk https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/disks-scalability-targets#premium-ssd-managed-disks-per-disk-limits
But here it says 'Dsv3-series VMs can burst their disk performance and get up to their bursting max for up to 30 minutes at a time.' - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/dv3-dsv3-series
We need the MAX burst duration to be unlimited.
Can you clarify this, please?

Answer 1

@nimi , Firstly, Apologies for the delay response!

Azure virtual machines have input/output operations per second (IOPS) and throughput performance limits based on the virtual machine type and size. OS disks and data disks can be attached to virtual machines. The disks have their own IOPS and throughput limits.

On-demand bursting options only apply to premium disks products at this time, where you can get unlimited burst performance on a pay as you go model.

VM bursting is only credit-based at this time, where you can only get up to 30 minutes of max bursting consecutively.

Here’s some articles which provides detailed information of your scenario:

Boost disk performance by upgrading hardware or optimizing system settings for better speed and efficiency.
