Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary benefit of the D16D v4 series VMs?
The D16D v4 series offers a strong balance of compute, memory, and high-performance local NVMe storage, making it ideal for general-purpose workloads that require fast data access and processing.
Can these VMs be used for mission-critical applications?
Yes, these VMs are suitable for many mission-critical applications due to their performance characteristics and Azure's reliable infrastructure. However, specific availability requirements should be assessed against Azure's service level agreements.
How does the local storage work?
Local NVMe SSD storage is directly attached to the VM host. It provides very low latency and high throughput but is ephemeral, meaning data is lost if the VM is stopped or deallocated.
