Important

Azure Virtual Machine series Epdsv6 is currently in preview. See the Supplemental Terms of Use for Microsoft Azure Previews for legal terms that apply to Azure features that are in beta, preview, or otherwise not yet released into general availability.

For more information and to sign up for the preview, please visit our announcement and follow the link to signup.

The Epdsv6-series virtual machines are powered by Azure’s first-generation Cobalt 100 processor, delivering outstanding performance for memory optimized workloads. The Azure Cobalt 100 processor operates at 3.4 GHz and provides an entire physical core for each virtual machine vCPU. These virtual machines offer 8 GiB of memory per vCPU and a wide range of vCPU sizes. These VMs are best suited for memory-intensive scale-out and enterprise workloads, such as relational database servers, large databases, data analytics engines, in-memory caches, and more. Epdsv6-series virtual machines support 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. For more information, see pricing for disks. Epdsv6-series virtual machines offer up to 96 vCPU, up to 672 GiB of RAM, and up to 5,280 GiB of fast local NVMe temporary storage.

Note

The Epdsv6 VM series will only work on OS images that support NVMe (i.e. NVMe drivers required for the local storage). If your current OS image doesn't have NVMe support, you’ll see an error message. NVMe support is available on the most popular OS images, and we're continuously improving OS image compatibility.
