About this tool
Selecting the correct Azure Virtual Machine family ensures cost efficiency and avoids memory or CPU bottlenecks. General purpose workloads use 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratios (D-series), memory-intensive databases require 1:8 ratios (E-series), and compute-intensive batch jobs utilize 1:2 ratios (F-series). This tool matches your resource requirements to Azure VM series and displays data disk limits, premium storage support and burstability.
