      Server Description

      A burstable x86_64 virtual machine with an Intel Xeon processor, offering balanced average performance for workloads with variable CPU demands.

      Burstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure B8ls_v2 is an x86_64 burstable virtual machine from the Bsv2 family, powered by an Intel Xeon 8370C processor running at 2.8 GHz. It features 8 vCPUs (4 physical cores) and 16.0 GB of RAM, resulting in a low memory-to-core ratio of 2.0 GB per vCPU. The instance lacks local storage and integrated GPUs but is premium storage capable. Benchmark results generally fall into the average tier, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 6117.0 and a Redis SET performance of 7.94 million operations per second, though multi-threaded bzip3 decompression is weak. The burstable CPU allocation makes this server a cost-efficient option for workloads with fluctuating demands, such as light web serving, software compilation, and small-scale database operations, provided they do not require high memory capacity or sustained CPU utilization.

      Workload Profiles

      0.62Score
      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.
