This article describes the supported sizes for the virtual machines running on your Azure Stack Edge Pro devices. Use this article before you deploy virtual machines on your Azure Stack Edge Pro devices.
Supported VM sizes
The VM size determines the amount of compute resources (like CPU, GPU, and memory) that are made available to the VM. You should create virtual machines by using a VM size appropriate for the workload. Even though all machines will be running on the same hardware, machine sizes have different limits for disk access. This can help you manage overall disk access across your VMs. If a workload increases, you can also resize an existing virtual machine.
The following VMs are supported for creation on your Azure Stack Edge device.
