Hi @hardikranpura-9066 ,

I would start with a B-Series VM SKU.
2 Core with 4 GB RAM -> B2s
1 Core with 2 GB RAM -> B1ms

There is no Azure VM SKU size with 2 Cores and 2 GB RAM (as far as I know). I am not sure what workload will be run in the Linux VM. You can resize the VMs anytime (just stop the VM and resize). I would recommend to try one of the VM SKU sizes above.

Hi @hardikranpura-9066 ,

i always recommend to "start small" in Azure at the beginning. If you choose the B1ms and you notice the performance is bad just resize to the B2s for more performance. The duration to resize a VM (stop, resize, start) is about 1-2 minutes.
