    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An x86_64 virtual machine featuring dense local storage and moderate memory capacity for storage-focused and database workloads.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure L8s_v2 is an LSv2-family virtual machine configured with an AMD EPYC 7551 processor, offering 8 vCPUs, 4 physical cores, and 64.0 GB of RAM. The server features 2002 GB of local storage and is Premium Storage capable, operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. Benchmark results show that the instance delivers modest compute capabilities, with stress-ng CPU performance and large-block memory bandwidth falling into the bottom 10% of tested servers. However, Passmark CPU and memory scores reach the middle 50%, indicating average performance for standard operations. Given its high storage-to-vCPU ratio and moderate memory capacity, the L8s_v2 is suited for storage-centric applications, database hosting, and workloads requiring substantial local disk space rather than intensive raw processing power.

    Workload Profiles

    0.29Score
    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.
