+| Size | Cores | RAM | Description | 
+| ---- | ----- | --- | ----------- | 
+| Small | 2 | 3.5 GB | This size is best suited for command line, opening web browser, low traffic web servers, small to medium databases. |
+| Medium | 4 | 7 GB | This size is best suited for relational databases, in-memory caching, and analytics | 
+| Medium (Nested virtualization) | 4 | 16 GB | This size is best suited for relational databases, in-memory caching, and analytics. This size also supports nested virtualization. <p>This size can be used in scenarios where each student need multiple VMs. Teachers can use nested virtualization to set up a few small size nested virtual machines inside the virtual machine. </p> |
+| Large | 8 | 32 GB | This size is best suited for applications that need faster CPUs, better local disk performance, large databases, large memory caches. This size also supports nested virtualization |  
+| GPU | 12 | 112 GB | This size is best suited for compute-intensive, graphics-intensive, and visualization workloads |
