M-series VMs

M-series are the largest VMs provided by Microsoft Azure. With these VMs, you are able to run a single VM with  4 TB of memory and 128 hyper-threaded vCPUs. The vCPU  is based on Intel® Xeon® 2.5 GHz E7-8890 v3 processors and meant to run workloads such as SAP HANA and SQL Hekaton.

In May 2018, M-series VMs became officially SAP HANA certified: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/azure-m-series-vms-are-now-sap-hana-certified/.
