Recommended Azure VM types and operating systems
Recommended Azure VM types
Vertica supports a range of Microsoft Azure virtual machine (VM) types, each optimized for different purposes. Choose the VM type that best matches your performance and price needs as a user.
Note
The GS VMs are not available in all regions, or from the Azure Marketplace.
You can use them by following the manual deployment steps described in Manually deploy Vertica on Microsoft Azure.

| High memory and I/O throughput |
GS3 GS4 GS5 E8s_v3 E16s_v3 E32s_v3 L8s L16s L32s |
