Microsoft D2s v4 Windows Virtual Machine Service

Run a Windows virtual machine in the Microsoft Azure West US 2 region with the D2s v4 size. This configuration provides 2 vCPU and 8 GiB of memory, placing it in the smaller general-purpose sizes of the Dsv4 virtual machine family. It fits workloads that need a Windows Server environment without allocating the compute and memory capacity associated with larger VM sizes. The D2s v4 size supports Premium SSD storage, indicated by the "s" designation in the Azure VM size name. That storage capability matters for Windows workloads whose operating system, application binaries, or data disks need predictable SSD-backed performance. Typical uses include low-to-moderate demand application servers, internal web services, development and test machines, directory services, and administrative utility servers deployed in West US 2. Microsoft B0EFA24D87F5 identifies the Windows D2s v4 service for this Azure region. Select this service when the required deployment calls for the D2s v4 compute profile and a Windows operating system rather than a Linux-based VM. The Dsv4 family combines general-purpose compute and memory resources, while this D2s v4 option keeps the footprint to 2 vCPU and 8 GiB for workloads that do not require a larger instance.
