Server Description
A dedicated dual-core virtual machine featuring a balanced memory configuration designed to support predictable performance for entry-level compute workloads.
Microsoft Azure DC2as_v5 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the DCASv5 family, powered by an x86_64 AMD processor. It features 2 dedicated vCPUs and 8.0 GB of system memory, providing 4.0 GB of RAM per core. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this instance does not include local storage but is Premium Storage capable, allowing connection to external high-performance persistent volumes. It contains no integrated GPUs and does not include complimentary public IPv4 addresses. With its dedicated CPU allocation, the DC2as_v5 offers predictable performance for entry-level workloads compared to shared-core alternatives. It is best suited for general-purpose applications, lightweight web servers, development environments, and small-scale database deployments that require consistent compute resources without the overhead of larger multi-core configurations.
