-You can deploy VM and instance images up to the size of the VM cache. For example, Standard Windows Server images from the marketplace are about 127 GiB, which means that you need a VM size that has a cache larger than 127 GiB. In this case, the [Standard_DS2_v2](~articles/virtual-machines/dv2-dsv2-series.md) has a cache size of 86 GiB, which is not large enough. The Standard_DS3_v2 has a cache size of 172 GiB, which is large enough. In this case, the Standard_DS3_v2 is the smallest size in the DSv2 series that you can use with this image. Basic Linux images in the Marketplace and Windows Server images that are denoted by `[smallsize]` tend to be around 30 GiB and can use most of the available VM sizes.
