Easv6 sizes series

Easv6-series VMs utilize AMD's fourth Generation EPYC™ 9004 processors that can achieve a boosted maximum frequency of 3.7 GHz. These virtual machines offer up to 96 vCPU and 672 GiB of RAM. The Easv6-series sizes offer a combination of vCPU and memory that is ideal for memory-intensive enterprise applications. The new VMs with no local disk provide a better value proposition for workloads that don't require local temporary storage.

Storage resources

Table definitions

¹Some sizes support bursting to temporarily increase disk performance. Burst speeds can be maintained for up to 30 minutes at a time.
Storage capacity is shown in units of GiB or 1024^3 bytes. When you compare disks measured in GB (1000^3 bytes) to disks measured in GiB (1024^3) remember that capacity numbers given in GiB may appear smaller. For example, 1023 GiB = 1098.4 GB.
Disk throughput is measured in input/output operations per second (IOPS) and MBps where MBps = 10^6 bytes/sec.
Data disks can operate in cached or uncached modes. For cached data disk operation, the host cache mode is set to ReadOnly or ReadWrite. For uncached data disk operation, the host cache mode is set to None.

Networking resources

Table definitions

Expected network bandwidth is the maximum aggregated bandwidth allocated per VM type across all NICs, for all destinations. For more information, see Virtual machine network bandwidth
Upper limits aren't guaranteed. Limits offer guidance for selecting the right VM type for the intended application. Actual network performance will depend on several factors including network congestion, application loads, and network settings. For information on optimizing network throughput, see Optimize network throughput for Azure virtual machines.
To achieve the expected network performance on Linux or Windows, you may need to select a specific version or optimize your VM. For more information, see Bandwidth/Throughput testing (NTTTCP).

Note

This VM series will only work on OS images that support NVMe. If your current OS image doesn't have NVMe support, you’ll see an error message. NVMe support is available on the most popular OS images, and we're continuously improving OS image compatibility.

Some Azure services may refer to this VM family as Eav6 rather than Easv6. This is a known naming inconsistency and does not affect VM capabilities, including Premium Storage support.
