Understanding Azure Stack Hub compute components

Let's take a look at the compute components within Azure Stack Hub with virtual machines.

Virtual machines

The compute services within Azure Stack Hub are used to support virtual machines. It supports both Windows and Linux virtual machines, both of which can be created from custom or syndicated images. Azure Stack Hub supports a subset of virtual machine sizes compared to Azure public cloud. The virtual machine types that are supported are as follows:

• Entry-level:
  • A\Basic
  • A\Standard
  • Av2
• General-purpose:
  • D
  • DS
  • DSv2
  • Dv2
  • Dv3
  • Ev3
• Compute-intensive:
  • F
  • FS
  • FSv2
• GPU:
  • NCv3
  • NVv4
  • NcasT4_v3

The performance of the virtual machines depends on the underlying infrastructure, so unlike Azure, there is no guarantee that the same virtual machine will perform the same across multiple Azure Stack Hub deployments.

Virtual machine scale sets (VMSSes) are built into the Azure Stack Hub platform, but there is no insights-based auto...
