Server Description
An x86_64 virtual machine featuring fractional GPU acceleration, dedicated AMD processors, and local storage for graphics-aligned workloads.
The Microsoft Azure NV8as_v4 is an x86_64 virtual machine from the NVSv4 family, powered by an AMD processor and managed via the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It features 8 dedicated vCPUs, 28.0 GB of system memory, and a fractional GPU allocation of 0.25 GPUs. This hardware profile is supported by 180 GB of local storage with Premium Storage capability. A notable tradeoff is the lack of advanced CPU instruction sets such as AVX, AVX512, and hardware-accelerated cryptography. This instance offers a cost-efficient option for workloads requiring moderate GPU acceleration without the expense of a full GPU. It is well-suited for virtual desktop infrastructure, light 3D rendering, and basic machine learning inference tasks.
