      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A budget-friendly, burstable virtual machine with balanced single-core performance for light, intermittent development and testing workloads.

      Burstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure B2ls_v2 is a burstable virtual machine from the Bsv2 family, configured with 2 vCPUs on a single physical Intel Xeon 8370C core and 4.0 GB of RAM. Operating on the x86_64 architecture, this instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators but supports premium remote storage. Performance benchmarks reveal a distinct split: single-core CPU execution and basic compression tasks perform at average levels, while multi-core processing, memory bandwidth, and database operations rank in the bottom 10% due to the burstable CPU allocation and single physical core limitation. This resource profile offers a highly cost-efficient solution for low-intensity, intermittent workloads. It is best suited for light development environments, small code repositories, and low-traffic web serving where continuous high performance is not required.

      Workload Profiles

      0.2Score
      Precomputed compound score for Cache Intensive workloads. A weighted average (geometric mean) of benchmark scores compared to their medians: score = ∏ (x_i / m_i)^(w_i / Σw). The score of 1.0 represents a synthetic baseline server with the median performance of each component benchmark; 0.5 means roughly half the performance; and 2.0 means twice the performance of that reference profile. Component weights: 50% Redis RPS (pipeline=1, SET), 20% Redis RPS (pipeline=16, SET), 10% PassMark Memory Mark (composite), 10% Memory bandwidth (read, 16 MB ~ L3), 10% PassMark single-thread CPU. Rationale for component selection: In-memory key-value store workload, mixing direct Redis performance metrics with memory speed and latency benchmarks, and single-core CPU performance profiles.
