    Hello Anthony Tockar,

    Greetings! Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform.

    Azure VM sizing refers to the process of selecting the appropriate size and type of Virtual Machine (VM) in Microsoft Azure to match the specific requirements of your workload. Here are the Azure VM sizing,

    1.The below listed VM types have a balanced CPU-to-memory ratio and are suitable for testing, development, small to medium databases, and low to medium traffic web servers.

    Examples: B-series, Dsv3, Dv3, Dasv4, Dav4, DSv2, Dv2, Av2, and more.

    2.For High CPU-to-memory ratio, ideal for medium traffic web servers, network appliances, batch processes, and application servers.

    Examples: F-series, Fs-series, Fsv2, FX-series.

    3.For High memory-to-CPU ratio, great for relational database servers, medium to large caches, and in-memory analytics.

    Examples: Esv3, Ev3, Easv4, Eav4, Epdsv5, Ev4, and more1.

    4.For Storage Optimized - High disk throughput and I/O, suitable for Big Data, SQL, NoSQL databases, data warehousing, and large transactional databases.

    Examples: Lsv2, Lsv3, Lasv31.

    5.GPU VMs: Specialized for heavy graphic rendering, video editing, model training, and inferencing (deep learning) and available with single or multiple GPUs.

    Examples: NC-series, NCv2, NCv3, NCasT4_v3, A100 v4, ND-series, NGads V620, and more.

    6.For High-Performance Compute VMs: Our fastest and most powerful CPU VMs with optional high-throughput network interfaces (RDMA).

    Examples: HB-series, HBv2, HBv3, HBv4, HC-series, HX-series1.
