So, they respond back with their requested amounts. 4,266 IOPS are requested to each data disk.Īll attached disks are P30 disks that can handle 5,000 IOPS.4,267 IOPS are requested to the operating system disk.Those 12,800 IOPS requested are broken down into three different requests to the different disks: The application is capped by the virtual machine limits and must allocate the allotted 12,800 IOPS. Unfortunately, the Standard_D8s_v3 virtual machine is only provisioned to handle 12,800 IOPS. The application running on the virtual machine makes a request that requires 15,000 IOPS. The application could work at peak performance at 10,000 IOPS if better-performing disks are used, such as Premium SSD P30 disks. The application's performance is capped by the attached disks, and it can only process 1,500 IOPS. So, they respond back with 500 IOPS each. 4,500 IOPS are requested to each data disk.Īll attached disks are E30 disks and can only handle 500 IOPS.1,000 IOPS are requested to the operating system disk.The 10,000 IOPS requests are broken down into three different requests to the different disks: All of which are allowed by the VM because the Standard_D8s_v3 virtual machine can execute up to 12,800 IOPS. The application running on the virtual machine makes a request that requires 10,000 IOPS to the virtual machine.

But, the same logic applies to throughput. To make these examples easy to follow, we'll only look at IOPS. Let's run through a couple of examples to clarify this concept. This can lead to negative consequences like increased latency. When capped, the application experiences suboptimal performance. Your application's performance gets capped when it requests more IOPS or throughput than what is allotted for the virtual machines or attached disks.

The disks have their own IOPS and throughput limits. OS disks and data disks can be attached to virtual machines. How does disk performance work?Īzure virtual machines have input/output operations per second (IOPS) and throughput performance limits based on the virtual machine type and size. It also describes how you can diagnose bottlenecks for your disk IO and the changes you can make to optimize for performance. This article helps clarify disk performance and how it works when you combine Azure Virtual Machines and Azure disks.
