The term Azure series identifies the available performance levels of an IaaS deployment (provision of a Cloud Service and/or a VM). The performance levels (that is, instance) generally differ in the number of CPU cores, the amount of memory, and the maximum size of the data disk. Some performance levels or even entire Azure series are also defined by special hardware equipment.
Attention! The selection of the performance level also determines the amount of costs incurred for the service.
Let's take a look at the available Azure series for our Cloud Services deployment.
