    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual machine combining strong single-core AMD EPYC performance with generous local storage for memory-dense workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure L4as_v4 is an x86_64 virtual machine from the Lasv4 family, powered by a dedicated 3.7 GHz AMD EPYC 9V74 processor. It features 4 vCPUs, 32.0 GB of RAM, and 960 GB of local storage with Premium Storage capability. The instance delivers strong single-core performance, ranking in the top 25% in stress-ng and Geekbench single-core benchmarks. However, multi-core performance and memory read bandwidth are weaker, with database operations and software compilation benchmarks falling into the bottom 25%. With a 1:8 vCPU-to-RAM ratio, this server is well-suited for memory-optimized workloads that benefit from high single-thread performance and local storage, such as Redis caching, static web serving, and text processing, while being less optimal for memory-bandwidth-heavy database tasks or large-scale multi-threaded operations.

    Workload Profiles

    0.359Score
    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.
