Performance difference between Standard SSD vs Premium SSD for D365 Commerce Development Environment

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 2,475

Hello,

I'm trying to get pricing for Cloud hosted Development VM on Azure. There are 3 options on Azure Pricing calculator when it comes to storage: HDD, Standard SSD, Premium SSD.

We will have decent amount of customizations. Shall I go for Premium SSD or Standard SSD. There will be lot of build and compilation in phase 2 gap phase but the transactions will be standard retail size, not extra large.

Also, how many cores and RAM is recommended for Commerce customizations. Will 8 Cores and 64GB give high performance? Or it can be even little bit lower as well without affecting performance (build time, general system speed, etc.) ?

Thanks.

    Hi,

    Yes, Premium SSD will provide the better performance.

    You can go to the Azure portal to check how many cores and RAM for your VM. Like this:
