    Server Description

    A high-speed local NVMe storage and memory-dense virtual machine optimized for low-latency database workloads and transactional applications.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure L8s_v4 is an Lsv4-family virtual machine powered by an 8-vCPU Intel Xeon 8573C processor running at 4.2 GHz on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It features 64.0 GB of RAM and a bundled 1920 GB local NVMe SSD, offering a high memory-to-core ratio of 8.0 GB per vCPU alongside high-speed local storage. Performance benchmarks indicate strong single-core capabilities, highlighted by a Geekbench single-core score of 2168.0 and strong single-threaded gzip compression. Multi-core and database operations perform at average levels, while LLM text generation on larger models represents a performance tradeoff. This instance is highly cost-efficient for storage-intensive and database workloads, such as transactional databases and data caching, where high-capacity local NVMe storage and balanced memory are critical.

    Workload Profiles

    0.85Score
    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.
