[In development] Private Preview: Storage optimized Lasv5 and Laosv5 Azure VM series
What the source says
The Lasv5 and Laosv5 storage optimized VMs, based on the 5th Gen AMD EPYCTM processor (Turin), are in preview. Lasv5-series is designed for storage-intensive workloads requiring high disk capacity, throughput, and I/O, while Laosv5-series is well-suited for workloads requiring significantly higher local storage capacity and performance. Lasv5 and Laosv5 VMs have sizes ranging from 2-160 vCPUs, with 8GiB of memory and 720GB of local NVMe disk capacity per vCPU. Both support 200Gbps of network bandwidth and deliver up to 35% better average CPU performance. The Lasv5 VMs offer up to 30.7TB of local storage capacity, while the Laosv5 VMs offer up to 138TB of local storage capacity. Compared to the previous generation Lasv4 VMs, Lasv5 VMs have: 33% larger maximum local storage capacity New 128 and 160 vCPU sizes Compared to the previous generation Laosv4 VMs, Laosv5 VMs have: 500% larger maximum local storage capacity New 48, 64, 96, 128, and160 vCPU sizes Learn more .
