The general purpose Dasv7 and Dalsv7, memory-optimized Easv7, and compute-optimized Fasv7, Falsv7, Famsv7 VMs, are now available in preview with and without local disk support. These VMs are now available in the East US 2, North Europe, and West US 3 regions.
These virtual machines deliver significant enhancements over the previous generation, offering improved CPU performance, greater scalability, and expanded configuration options to meet the demands of a wide range of workloads.
Key improvements include:
Up to 35% CPU performance improvement compared to similarly sized v6 VMs
Significant performance gains on other workloads compared to the previous generation of similar sized (v6) AMD-based VMs:
Up to 27% for Java-based workloads
Up to 70% for in-memory cache applications
Up to 84% for crypto workloads
Up to 130% for web server applications
Expanded VM sizes: Dasv7-series, Dalsv7-series and Easv7-series now scale up to 160 vCPUs. Fasv7-series supports up to 80 vCPUs, with a new 1-core size for lightweight workloads.
Increased memory capacity: Dasv7-series now offers up to 640 GiB of memory. Easv7-series scales up to 1280 GiB, ideal for memory-intensive applications.
Enhanced remote storage performance, offering up to 20% higher IOPS (up to 355K IOPS) and up to 50% greater throughput (up to 11 GBps).
New VM families introduced: Fasv7, Falsv7, and Famsv7 now available with local disk support.
