Will there be a 96 core version similar to the Ev4?
we are always considering to any new sizes and SKUs to the VM family. Pls check out azure.com/updates
We use Standard_D4s_v4 series for our workloads. Can you recommend a comparable (or even higher performance) size/sku that would provide monetary savings? And what would that cost saving potentially look like?. I am literally making VM size decisions today. Thanks in advance, and for answering my previous questions.
Hi Michael. You can consider D4as_v5 it should be more affordable and might even have better performance depending on the specific workload.
