Recommended Azure VM Types
Vertica supports a range of Microsoft Azure virtual machine (VM) types, each optimized for different purposes. Choose the VM type that best matches your performance and price needs as a user.
For the best performance in most common scenarios, use one of the following VMs:
| Optimization | Type |
|---|---|
| Memory optimized |
DS13_v2 DS14_v2 DS15_v2 D8s_v3 D16s_v3 D32s_v3 |
|
High memory and I/O throughput
The GS VMs are not available in all regions. Nor are they available on the Azure Marketplace, but you can use them by following the manual deployment steps described in Manually Deploy Vertica on Microsoft Azure. |
GS3 GS4 GS5 E8s_v3 E16s_v3 E32s_v3 L8s L16s L32s |
Data stored on the drives of a VM exists only while that VM is powered on. After powering off a VM, data on temporary drives is lost.
