Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary difference between the Dsv4 and Dsv4 series VMs?
The Dsv4 series VMs are based on Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8272CL processor, while the Dsv3 series uses older generation Intel® Xeon® E5-2673 v4 processors. The Dsv4 series offers better performance and newer technology.
Can I use these virtual machines for general-purpose workloads?
While Dsv4 VMs are optimized for compute-intensive tasks, they can also be used for general-purpose workloads that require a good balance of CPU, memory, and I/O. However, for purely general-purpose needs, other Azure VM series might be more cost-effective.
What is the billing model for these virtual machines?
These virtual machines are offered on a subscription basis, meaning you are billed monthly for the resources you consume. This provides a predictable operational expense for your cloud infrastructure.
