Frequently Asked Questions
What is the D4as V4 series best suited for?
The D4as V4 series is ideal for compute-intensive workloads that benefit from high CPU performance and fast local storage, such as relational database servers, in-memory caches, and analytics workloads.
How does local SSD storage differ from managed disks?
Local SSDs offer lower latency and higher IOPS compared to managed disks, making them suitable for temporary storage or workloads that require extremely fast data access. However, data on local SSDs is ephemeral and lost if the VM is stopped or deallocated.
Can I resize a D4as V4 VM?
Yes, you can typically resize a D4as V4 VM to a different size within the same series or to another compatible series, provided the underlying hardware supports the new configuration. This usually requires deallocating the VM.
