The Ls-series is optimized for workloads that require low latency local storage, like NoSQL databases (for example, Cassandra, MongoDB, Cloudera, and Redis). The Ls-series offers up to 32 CPU cores, using the Intel® Xeon® processor E5 v3 family. This is the same CPU performance as the G/GS-Series and comes with 8 GiB of memory per CPU core.
ACU: 180-240
| Size | CPU cores | Memory: GiB | Local SSD: GiB | Max data disks | Max cached disk throughput: IOPS / MBps (cache size in GiB) | Max uncached disk throughput: IOPS / MBps | Max NICs / Network bandwidth |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard_L4s | 4 | 32 | 678 | 8 | NA / NA (0) | 5,000 / 125 | 2 / high |
| Standard_L8s | 8 | 64 | 1,388 | 16 | NA / NA (0) | 10,000 / 250 | 4 / very high |
| Standard_L16s | 16 | 128 | 2,807 | 32 | NA / NA (0) | 20,000 / 500 | 8 / extremely high |
| Standard_L32s** | 32 | 256 | 5,630 | 64 | NA / NA (0) | 40,000 / 1,000 | 8 / extremely high |
MBps = 10^6 bytes per second, and GiB = 1024^3 bytes.
*The maximum disk throughput (IOPS or MBps) possible with a Ls-series VM may be limited by the number, size, and striping of the attached disk(s). For details, see Premium Storage: High-performance storage for Azure virtual machine workloads.
