Update, 10\/21: Azure GS-Series Virtual Machines<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A G-Series variant, the GS-Series now supports Premium storage in the US Gov Virginia region.\u00a0 GS-Series VMs enable resource-intensive applications with the fastest processors, the most memory, and the highest input\/output operations per second (IOPS) (for storage disk performance compared to any other series).\u00a0 For more information, please refer to the Additional Resources links below for Azure Virtual Machines.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We are excited to announce the general availability of the G-Series Virtual Machines in Microsoft Azure Government.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Azure G-Series Virtual Machines<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The G-Series provides more memory and more local solid state drive (SSD) storage than other Azure virtual machine sizes. In addition to massive memory and local SSD storage, the G-Series provides unparalleled computational performance by using the latest Intel Xeon processor E5 v3 family, ideal for your most demanding applications.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are the CPU, memory, and disk configurations for the G-Series instances<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
