General availability: Dv2 VMs in more Azure regions
Published date: December 17, 2015
In the last few weeks, we have made Dv2-Series VMs available in more Azure regions. The new regions are Australia East, Australia Southeast, North Europe, West Europe, East US, South Central US, Southeast Asia, Japan East, and East Asia.Dv2-Series VMs (a follow-on to the original D-Series VMs) feature similar memory and hard disk configurations, but more powerful CPUs. Based on the latest generation 2.4 GHz Intel Xeon E5-2673 v3 (Haswell) processors, Dv2 VMs are designed to offer an optimal configuration for running workloads that require increased processing power and fast local disk I/O.
