RAM
RAM or the Random Access Memory is directly proportional to the cost of virtual machine. Generally, more RAM results in better performance but larger the amount of RAM, costlier is the Virtual Machine.
Temporary Storage
Temporary storage refers to a local disk storage that’s non-permanent and is included with specific VM sizes. The existence and size of this temporary storage can affect the pricing of VMs. When VMs have more extensive temporary storage, their prices may increase due to the larger local storage capacity.
vCPU(s)
vCPUs are virtualized processors in a VM. VMs with multiple vCPUs can handle multi-threaded workloads and parallel processing more effectively, which may be reflected in their pricing.
The number of vCPUs directly influences VM pricing, with VMs having more vCPUs generally costing more.
Azure Virtual Machine Pricing
Virtual Machines are one of the computing resources offered by Microsoft Azure. These are available on-demand and are scalable. Virtual Machines offers more control over the computing environment. Virtual Machines provides the flexibility of Virtualization without the need to purchase physical hardware to run it.
