If you get the sizes wrong, you will either get a huge bill as you have over specced the VM, or you will have unhappy Users as you have under specced the VM. When we talk about sizing, we don’t just mean the sizing of the VM, there are many factors to consider. The most Important ones you should look at are: • CPU Type • Memory • OS Disk Performance • Data Disk Performance Over the next few slides we will explain the choices available and how to make the correct decision. VM Types Type Sizes Description Most common for WVD General Purpose B, Dsv3, Dv3, Dasv4, Dav4, Balanced CPU-to-memory ratio. DSV3-Series DSv2, Dv2, Av2, DC, DCv2, Dv4, Ideal for testing and Dsv4, Ddv4, Ddsv4 development, small to medium databases, and low to medium traffic web servers. Compute Optimized F, Fs, Fsv2 High CPU-to-memory ratio. Standard_F8S_v2 (8 CPU/16GB Good for medium traffic web RAM) servers, network appliances, batch processes, and application servers.

This is a D16DS V4 which is 16vCPU and 64GB RAM. In theory this should support 32 users. This is 8 users. Therefore it is critical to analyze YOUR own workload, each workload is different Sizing – Community feedback What does the community say?? Sizing A few key take aways: 1) This is a very predicable workload – only 1 application is open at any one time. 2) Real world workloads are very very different
