I am looking to create an economical Azure virtual machine here are my requirements:

  1. It should have a near 100% up-time.
  2. It should connect max 10 FTP users at a time.
  3. It should not have more temp storage (8 GB would be fine).

Could anyone recommend any suitable Azure Virtual Machine of Standard tier?

    @Sameer Keluskar ,

    If you want to 100% uptime, you need atleast 2 VMs with same application running and being placed in an availability set/zones behind a Load balancer.

    If you are looking for economic and Vm for development/ testing purpose, then you can go with B or D series VM.
