    Server Description

    An AMD-powered virtual machine combining high-capacity local NVMe SSD storage with balanced memory for database and storage-intensive workloads.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory Optimized

    Microsoft Azure L8aos_v4 is an x86_64 storage-optimized virtual machine powered by an AMD EPYC 9V74 processor with 8 dedicated vCPUs (4 physical cores) running at 3.7 GHz. It features 64.0 GB of RAM and a large 5760 GB local NVMe SSD. Benchmarks show strong single-core CPU and text processing performance, placing in the top 25%, while multi-core and database operations perform in the average tier. A key tradeoff is its memory bandwidth, where cached small-block reads are average but uncached large-block reads are weak. With a 1:8 vCPU-to-RAM ratio and high local storage capacity, this instance provides qualitative cost efficiency for storage-heavy applications. It is best suited for databases, caching layers, and text processing workloads, rather than memory-bound high-performance computing or large-scale LLM inference.

    Workload Profiles

    0.56Score
    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.
