Azure Cloud Customers Can Now Access Lsv2 Virtual Machines

Microsoft Azure continues to broaden its virtual machine offerings to give customers the power and features they require for all uses. Microsoft Azure users looking to find just the right virtual machine configurations for their workloads now have another option to choose from as the company's latest Lsv2-series virtual machines are now generally available. The new Lsv2-series virtual machines join an expanding range of virtual machines offered by Microsoft Azure, from general-purpose VMs to high-performance configurations built for a variety of business computing requirements. The Lsv2-series VMs, which previously were available in preview, features high throughput, low latency and directly-mapped local NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) storage, wrote Joe Pelley,  principal program manager for Azure Virtual Machines, in a recent post on the Azure Blog. The Lsv2 VMs run on the AMD EPYCTM 7551 processor and are offered in various configurations from 8 to 80 virtual CPUs with simultaneous multi-threading, wrote Pelley. Each VM features 8 GiB of memory and one 1.92TB NVMe SSD device per eight virtual CPUs, with up to 19.2TB (10 x 1.92TB) available on the 80vCPU L80s v2. "Customers from all over the globe and across a broad range of industries participated in the Lsv2-series VMs preview during the second half of 2018," wrote Pelley. The Lsv2-series is a storage-optimized VM that features high disk throughput and IO, making it a good choice for big data workloads, SQL and NoSQL databases, data warehousing and large transactional databases such as Cassandra, MongoDB, Cloudera and Redis. "In general, applications that can benefit from large in-memory databases are a good fit for these VMs," wrote Pelley.
