of integrated public cloud services including analytics, Virtual Machines, databases, mobile, networking, storage, and web\u2014ideal for hosting your solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Microsoft Azure provides a scalable computing platform that allows you to only pay for what you use, when you want it &#8211; without having to invest in on-premises hardware. Azure is ready when you are to scale your solutions up and out to whatever scale you require to service the needs of your clients<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Virtual machines (VMs) are the most flexible resources available for implementing a Microsoft Azure-based solution for your organization. You can use Azure Virtual Machines to host customized workloads and applications, implement network-infrastructure roles, or extend your on-premises services into the cloud.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Virtual_Machines\"><\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">Virtual Machines<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Azure operates in multiple data centers around the world. These data centers are grouped into geographic regions, giving you flexibility in choosing where to build your applications. It is important to understand how and where your virtual machines (VMs) operate in Azure, along with your options to maximize performance, availability, and redundancy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Virtual_Machine_Size\"><\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">Virtual Machine Size<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">When you deploy a VM in Azure, you must select the VM size that is suitable for your workload. The size also affects the processing power, memory, and storage capacity of the virtual machine. You are billed based on the amount of time the VM is running and consuming its allocated resources.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">There are different VM sizes that are available: General purpose, Compute optimized, Memory optimized, Storage optimized, GPU and High-performance compute.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_34303\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34303\" style=\"width: 1085px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/VM_VMSize.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-34303 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/VM_VMSize.png\" alt=\"VMs Sizing Type\" width=\"1085\" height=\"609\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-34303\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>\u00a0VMs Sizing Type<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Microsoft offers virtual machines in two tiers: <i>basic<\/i> and <i>standard<\/i>.

With <i>Azure standard storage<\/i>, you should expect about 60 megabytes per second (MBps) or 500 8-kilobyte (KB) IOPS. With <i>Azure Premium Storage<\/i>, performance depends on the disk size, with 1-TB disks supporting up to 200 MBps and 5,000 256-KB IOPS<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><span lang=\"EN-US\">You can discover where those Virtual Machine services and sizes are available at \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/regions\/services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/regions\/services\/<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">When you run Azure VMs, you pay for the compute time on a per-minute basis.
