Azure Virtual Machine (VM) sizes are designed to provide a wide range of options for various workloads and Workloadss for hosting your servers in the cloud. Sizes are categorized into different families and types, each optimized for specific purposes. Users can choose the most suitable VM size based on their requirements, such as CPU, memory, storage, and network bandwidth.

Azure VM sizes follow specific naming conventions to denote varying features and specifications. Each character in the name represents different aspects of the VM, such as the VM family, number of vCPUs, and additional features like memory-intensive or premium storage capable.

VM naming is further broken down into the 'Series' name and the 'Size' name. Size names include extra characters representing the number of vCPUs, type of storage, etc.
