Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the D4a v4 and D4s v4 series?
The D4a v4 series uses AMD EPYC processors and offers local SSD storage. The D4s v4 series also uses AMD EPYC processors but is designed for workloads that require premium SSD storage attached via Azure managed disks, offering different performance characteristics and cost structures.
Can I attach persistent storage to these virtual machines?
Yes, while the D4a v4 series includes local SSD storage for temporary data, you can attach Azure managed disks (Standard SSD, Premium SSD, or Ultra Disk) for persistent data storage and higher IOPS requirements.
What are the typical use cases for the D4a v4 series?
This series is well-suited for web servers, small to medium databases, caching layers, and development/test environments that benefit from high CPU performance and fast local storage.
