We are happy to announce the general availability of DSv2-Series and Fs-Series (not to be confused with F-series) virtual machines in US Gov Virginia.
DSv2-series and Fs-series VMs can use Premium Storage, which provides high-performance, low-latency storage for Input/Output intensive workloads. These VMs use solid-state drives (SSDs) to host a virtual machine’s disks and also provide a local SSD disk cache.
For customers already utilizing DS-Series VMs in US Gov Virginia, DSv2 offers similar memory and disk, but offers more powerful CPUs which are based on 2.4 GHz Intel Xeon E5-2673 v3 (Haswell) processors and run about 35 percent faster
Below are the CPU, memory, and disk configuration options for DSv2 instances:
| Size | CPU cores | Memory: GiB | Local SSD: GiB | Max data disks |
| Standard_DS1_v2 | 1 | 3.5 | 7 | 2 |
| Standard_DS2_v2 | 2 | 7 | 14 | 4 |
| Standard_DS3_v2 | 4 | 14 | 28 | 8 |
| Standard_DS4_v2 | 8 | 28 | 56 | 16 |
| Standard_DS5_v2 | 16 | 56 | 112 | 32 |
| Standard_DS11_v2 | 2 | 14 | 28 | 4 |
| Standard_DS12_v2 | 4 | 28 | 56 | 8 |
| Standard_DS13_v2 | 8 | 56 | 112 | 16 |
| Standard_DS14_v2 | 16 | 112 | 224 | 32 |
| Standard_DS15_v2 | 20 | 140 | 280 | 40 |
Fs-Series VMs have similar CPU and memory configurations as F-Series but also have the ability to utilize SSDs.
Below are the CPU, memory, and disk configuration options for Fs instances:
| Size | CPU cores | Memory: GiB | Local SSD: GiB | Max data disks |
| Standard_F1s | 1 | 2 | 4 | 2 |
| Standard_F2s | 2 | 4 | 8 | 4 |
| Standard_F4s | 4 | 8 | 16 | 8 |
| Standard_F8s | 8 | 16 | 32 | 16 |
| Standard_F16s | 16 | 32 | 64 | 32 |
DSv2 and FS VM sizes will also be available in US Gov Arizona and US Gov Texas regions at launch. To see VM sizes available in each Azure Government region please visit our compute documentation page.
