For general-purpose and memory-optimized workloads
Microsoft's Cobalt 100 Arm CPUs have reached general availability in its Azure cloud, creating another non-x86 option for running VMs in the Redmondian cloud.The first two instance types are intended for general purpose computing. The Dpsv6 instances offer VMs ranging from two virtual CPUs and 8GiB of memory at list price of $51 a month all the way to monsters with 96 vCPUs and 384GiB of RAM that will set you back $2,460.
The Epsv6 VMs offer 8GiB per vCPU. Prices pop to $67 a month for a pair of vCPUs, and $3,230 for 96 vCPUs. That config makes them suitable for relational database servers, large databases, data analytics engines, and in-memory caches. Microsoft is of course publicizing lovely performance numbers: the Cobalt-powered VMs are apparently up to 1.4 times faster"compared to previous generations of Azure Arm-based VMs," and also up to 1.5 times faster when running Java workloads, and perform twice as well when running web servers, .NET applications, and in-memory cache applications.
One is that all the Cobalt-equipped instances use the same 3.4GHz processor, and omit temporary storage. Microsoft of course allows users to add Azure storage, with several types to choose from. But the software giant has not said what storage configuration produced the performance benchmarked above.
