We’re excited to announce the preview of the new Azure Lasv5 and Laosv5 Local Storage Optimized Virtual Machines (VMs) powered by the 5th Generation AMD EPYC™ (Turin) processors. Lasv5-series is designed for storage-intensive workloads requiring high disk capacity, throughput, and I/O, while Laosv5-series is well-suited for workloads requiring significantly higher local storage capacity and performance, such as large-scale caching clusters and big data processing.
Lasv5 and Laosv5 Key Improvements
The latest Azure AMD-based Lasv5 and Laosv5 VMs deliver significant enhancements over the previous generation Lasv4 and Laosv4 VMs.
Key Improvements include:
- Increased maximum local storage capacity:
- Lasv5-series offers up to 30.7TB of local storage capacity (compared to 23TB on Lasv4-series)
- Laosv5-series offers up to 138TB of local storage capacity (compared to 23TB on Laosv4-series)
- Increased maximum network bandwidth:
- Lasv5 and Laosv5 offer up to 200Gbps of network bandwidth (compared to 40Gbps and 50Gbps on Lasv4 and Laosv4 respectively)
