In this example, the workload requires a 16vCPU virtual machine with 64GiB of RAM to work efficiently. The application needs CPU bursts during business hours, but not a lot of computing power during off hours. Max burst uncached disk throughput: IOPS/MBps 1ġ B-series VMs can burst their disk performance and get up to their bursting max for up to 30 minutes at a time.Ģ B1ls is supported only on Linux Workload exampleĬonsider an office check-in/out application. **Accelerated Networking is only supported for Standard_B12ms, Standard_B16ms and Standard_B20ms. *B-series VMs are burstable and thus ACU numbers will vary depending on workloads and core usage. VM Generation Support: Generation 1 and 2 The B-series comes in the following VM sizes: When the VM has accumulated credits, the VM can burst above the baseline using up to 100% of the vCPU when your application requires higher CPU performance. The B-series provides you with the ability to purchase a VM size with baseline performance that can build up credits when it is using less than its baseline. To determine the physical hardware on which this size is deployed, query the virtual hardware from within the virtual machine.

These workloads typically have burstable performance requirements. B-series VMs are ideal for workloads that do not need the full performance of the CPU continuously, like web servers, proof of concepts, small databases and development build environments. B-series run on the 3rd Generation Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8370C (Ice Lake), the Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8272CL (Cascade Lake), the Intel® Xeon® 8171M 2.1 GHz (Skylake), the Intel® Xeon® E5-2673 v4 2.3 GHz (Broadwell), or the Intel® Xeon® E5-2673 v3 2.4 GHz (Haswell) processors. The B-series VMs can be deployed on a variety of hardware types and processors, so competitive bandwidth allocation is provided.
