The DCasv5-series and DCadsv5-series are confidential VMs for use in Confidential Computing.
These confidential VMs use AMD's third-Generation EPYCTM 7763v processor in a multi-threaded configuration with up to 256 MB L3 cache. These processors can achieve a boosted maximum frequency of 3.5 GHz. Both series offer Secure Encrypted Virtualization-Secure Nested Paging (SEV-SNP). SEV-SNP provides hardware-isolated VMs that protect data from other VMs, the hypervisor, and host management code. Confidential VMs offer hardware-based VM memory encryption. These series also offer OS disk pre-encryption before VM provisioning with different key management solutions.
DCasv5-series VMs offer a combination of vCPU and memory for most production workloads. These VMs with no local disk provide a better value proposition for workloads where you don't need a local temporary disk. For more information, see the FAQ for Azure VM sizes with no local temporary disk.
This series supports Standard SSD, Standard HDD, and Premium SSD disk types. Billing for disk storage and VMs is separate. To estimate your costs, use the Pricing Calculator.
Note
There are some pricing differences based on your encryption settings for confidential VMs.
Supported features in DCasv5-series VMs:
Unsupported features in DCasv5-series VMs:
- Live Migration
