Azure VM specifications for MDI installation

Hi,

The prereq's https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/defender-for-identity/prerequisites?source=recommendations state 2 cores, but this size is not available in some regions in Azure. Appreciate any recommendations for alternatives.

    Are you running a DC on Azure ?
    You can use a larger size of you want, it's 2 cores minimum.

      Thank you. I can only see upgrade sizes with vcpu's, none with cores.

        Is this s production environment?
        If those are not dedicated cores, it will work but with reduced performance.
