Server Description
An ARM-powered virtual instance offering dedicated compute cores and low memory density for cost-efficient, lightweight processing workloads.
The Microsoft Azure D4pls_v6 is an ARM-based virtual machine from the Dplsv6 family, utilizing the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It is configured with 4 dedicated physical cores using the Microsoft Neoverse-N2 architecture at 3.4 GHz, paired with 8.0 GB of RAM. The instance lacks local storage and GPUs but supports premium external storage. Performance benchmarks show average multi-core capabilities, with a stress-ng multi-core score of 8245.96 and a strong single-threaded gzip compression rate of 33.08 GB/sec. However, it exhibits weaker performance in cryptographic tasks and LLM inference. This server is qualitatively cost-efficient for compute-aligned workloads with low memory requirements, making it suitable for static web serving, software compilation, and lightweight database operations.
