Build dynamically scalable applications with Virtual Machine Scale Sets. Adjust the size of your infrastructure based on demand while optimizing costs. Simplify management and enhance the resilience of your business-critical applications at the appropriate scale.
Azure Virtual Machines
Choose the virtual machine that suits your workload and reduce costs
Migrate your mission-critical workloads to the Azure infrastructure and increase operational efficiency. Run SQL Server, SAP, Oracle® software, and high-performance computing applications on Azure Virtual Machines. Choose your preferred Linux distribution or Windows Server.
Deploy virtual machines with up to 416 vCPUs and up to 12 TB of memory. Achieve up to 3.7 million local storage IOPS per virtual machine. Take advantage of Ethernet up to 30 Gbps and 200 Gbps InfiniBand in the cloud’s first deployment. Choose the core processors (AMD, Ampere (ARM-based), or Intel) that best meet your needs.
