Dlsv6 and Dldsv6-series (Preview)
Applies to ✔️ Linux VMs ✔️ Windows VMs ✔️ Flexible scale sets ✔️ Uniform scale sets
Note
Azure Virtual Machine Series Dsv6 and Ddsv6 are currently in Preview. See the Preview Terms Of Use | Microsoft Azure for legal terms that apply to Azure features that are in beta, preview, or otherwise not yet released into general availability.
The Dlsv6 and Dldsv6-series Virtual Machines runs on Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8473C (Emerald Rapids) processor in a hyper threaded configuration. This new processor features an all core turbo clock speed of 3.0 GHz with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology, Intel® Advanced-Vector Extensions 512 (Intel® AVX-512) and Intel® Deep Learning Boost. The Dlsv6 and Dldsv6 VM series provides 2GiBs of RAM per vCPU and optimized for workloads that require less RAM per vCPU than standard VM sizes. Target workloads include web servers, gaming, video encoding, AI/ML, and batch processing.
These new Intel based VMs have two variants: Dlsv6 without local SSD and Dldsv6 with local SSD.
Dlsv6-series
Dlsv6-series virtual machines run on 5th Generation Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8473C (Emerald Rapids) CPU processor reaching an all- core turbo clock speed of up to 3.0 GHz. These virtual machines offer up to 128 vCPU and 256 GiB of RAM. These VM sizes can reduce cost when running non-memory intensive applications.
Dlsv6-series virtual machines do not have any temporary storage thus lowering the price of entry. You can attach Standard SSD, Standard HDD, and Premium SSD disk types. You can also attach Ultra Disk storage based on its regional availability. Disk storage is billed separately from virtual machines. See pricing for disks.

Size table definitions
Storage capacity is shown in units of GiB or 1024^3 bytes. When you compare disks measured in GB (1000^3 bytes) to disks measured in GiB (1024^3) remember that capacity numbers given in GiB may appear smaller. For example, 1023 GiB = 1098.4 GB.
Disk throughput is measured in input/output operations per second (IOPS) and MBps where MBps = 10^6 bytes/sec.
Data disks can operate in cached or uncached modes. For cached data disk operation, the host cache mode is set to ReadOnly or ReadWrite. For uncached data disk operation, the host cache mode is set to None.
To learn how to get the best storage performance for your VMs, see Virtual machine and disk performance.
Expected network bandwidth is the maximum aggregated bandwidth allocated per VM type across all NICs, for all destinations. For more information, see Virtual machine network bandwidth.
Upper limits aren't guaranteed. Limits offer guidance for selecting the right VM type for the intended application. Actual network performance will depend on several factors including network congestion, application loads, and network settings. For information on optimizing network throughput, see Optimize network throughput for Azure virtual machines. To achieve the expected network performance on Linux or Windows, you may need to select a specific version or optimize your VM. For more information, see Bandwidth/Throughput testing (NTTTCP)
