Batch (Preview)
Cloud-scale job scheduling and compute management
Azure Batch provides job scheduling and cluster management, allowing applications or algorithms to run in parallel at scale.
There’s no charge for Batch itself, only the underlying compute and other resources consumed to run your batch jobs. For compute, Cloud Services, Linux Virtual Machines, or Windows Virtual Machines can be utilized by Batch. The standard rates for compute apply and can be viewed below. In addition, Batch allows low-priority virtual machines (VMs) to be used.
Compute optimized: High CPU-to-memory ratio. Good for medium traffic web servers, network appliances, batch processes, and application servers.
Fv2 Series
The Fv2-series virtual machines support 2-GiB RAM and 8 GB of local temporary storage (SSD) per vCPU, and are optimized for compute intensive workloads. The F-series is hyper-threaded and based on the 2.7 GHz Intel Xeon® Platinum 8168 (SkyLake) processor, which can achieve clock speeds as high as 3.7 GHz with the Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0. These virtual machines are suitable for scenarios like batch processing, web servers, analytics, and gaming.

Memory optimized: High memory-to-core ratio. Great for relational database servers, medium to large caches, and in-memory analytics.
E2 64 v3
E2-64 v3 instances are the latest generation of hyper-threaded memory optimized instances. E2-64 v3 instances are based on the 2.3 GHz Intel XEON® E5-2673 v4 (Broadwell) processor and can achieve 3.5 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0. E2-64 v3 instances are ideal for memory-intensive enterprise applications.
