What are the different types of Azure VM sizes and families? Answer : Azure provides several VM families, each optimized for different workloads: General Purpose : B-series, D-series (balanced CPU and memory). Compute Optimized : F-series (CPU-intensive workloads). Memory Optimized : E-series (memory-intensive workloads). Storage Optimized : L-series (high disk throughput and I/O performance). GPU : NV, NC, ND (for GPU-based workloads like machine learning, simulations). High-Performance Compute : H-series (for high-performance wor...
