    Server Description

    A low-memory, compute-oriented instance featuring dedicated AMD EPYC performance and fast local NVMe SSD storage for single-threaded workloads.

    Compute OptimizedBurstable & Budget

    Microsoft Azure D2alds_v6 is an x86_64 server from the Daldv6 family, powered by a 3.7 GHz AMD EPYC 9V74 processor. It features 2 dedicated vCPUs (1 physical core, 2 threads) and 4.0 GB of system memory, establishing a compute-oriented 1:2 resource ratio. The instance includes 118 GB of local NVMe SSD storage and supports Premium Storage. Performance benchmarks reveal strong single-core capabilities, highlighted by a stress-ng single-core score of 3078.68 and a Geekbench single-core score of 2078.0. Conversely, multi-core performance and memory read bandwidth are weak, with database operations scoring in the bottom 10%. This server is qualitatively cost-efficient for lightweight, single-threaded workloads, basic text processing, and small-scale web serving, but it is not recommended for memory-heavy databases or intensive multi-threaded tasks.

    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.
