This article lists the virtual machine (VM) sizes that are available in Azure Stack.

General purpose

General-purpose VM sizes provide a balanced CPU-to-memory ratio. They are used for testing and development, small to medium databases, and low to medium traffic web servers.

Basic A

Note

Basic A virtual machine sizes are retired for creating virtual machine scale sets (VMSS) through the portal. To create a VMSS with this size, use PowerShell or a template.
