- Operating System
- Size
- 8 vCPUs, 64 GB memory (e.g. E8as_v4)
- OS Disk
- Data Disk
- Database Server
- Operating System
- Database
- Size
- 8 vCPUs, 64 GB memory (e.g. E8as_v4)
- OS Disk

- Premium SSD - 512 GB (or larger based on data)
Networking
- Resource Group
- Organize and manage your Azure resources.
- Virtual Network
- Create a virtual network to isolate your environment.
- Network Security Group (NSG)
- Configure rules to control inbound and outbound traffic, protecting the VMs.
- Network Interface (NIC)
- The interconnection between a virtual machine and a virtual network.
- Public IP Address
- Assign if direct external access is required.
Other Considerations
- Premium SSD
- Use for OS and data disks to ensure high performance and low latency.
- Azure Backup
- Enable for regular backups of your VMs and data.
- Azure Site Recovery (ASR)
- ASR is a best-in-class disaster recovery solution hosted in Azure
- A near-constant data replication process makes sure copies are in sync
- VPN
- Virtual Private Network is optional.
