  • Burstable VMs - Our B-series VMs provide an economical, low-cost solution for workloads that normally don't use a lot of CPU but occasionally need to burst to handle higher workloads. Free for 12 months.
  • Compute Optimized - Fv2 is our newest compute-optimized VM family and uses the Intel Skylake processor. Fv2 delivers the latest Intel CPU for raw compute power.
  • Balanced CPU and memory - Our Dv3 family is the latest generation of our general purpose VMs. It's appropriate for a variety of workloads.
  • High memory-to-core ratio - Ev3 is our latest generation memory-optimized VM. It's great for relational database servers, caches, and in-memory analytics.
