Hello, @Holly Grandin !
What VM size can I use for my machine learning (ML) exercise?
The Standard_DS11_v2 is a memory optimized virtual machine. I would recommend looking for something else in the DSv2-series 11-15 or a memory optimized VM with a similar spec. The Azure virtual machines selector tool is very helpful for finding a VM with specific requirements. I'll reach out directly to see if you need additional guidance.
