-The primary difference between general-purpose and performance-optimized types of VMs is their approach to emulator thread isolation. VM SKUs optimized for performance have dedicated emulator threads, which allow each VM to operate at maximum efficiency. Conversely, general-purpose VM SKUs have emulator threads that run on the same processors as applications running inside the VM. For application workloads that cannot tolerate other workloads sharing their processors, we recommend using the performance-optimized SKUs. Memory-optimized SKUs allow application workloads with very large memory requirements to access resources from both NUMA cells within the physical machine. As these SKUs are highly resource intensive, it is recommended to use a smaller SKU if suitable for the application workload.
