CPU usage time

The maximum time (in seconds) that each CPU will be in operation.

CPUs

The highest allowable number of central processing units (CPUs) operating at anytime. Note that Azure uses a virtual CPU (vCPU) concept that specifies both CPU and memory requirements for a VM.

For more information, see Constrained vCPU Capable VM Sizes.

Disk GB

The highest number of gigabytes (GB) allowed for disk-based storage at anytime.

From the Sub-Metric dropdown list, you can further indicate Premium or Standard SSD/HDD type or Ultra disk type.

For more information, see Disk Types Available in Azure.

GPUs

The highest allowable number of graphics processing units (GPUs) operating at anytime.

For general information, see GPU Optimized VMs.

Instance uptime in seconds

The maximum time (in seconds) that a virtual machine instance will be in operation.

Load balancer rules

The highest number of Azure Standard Load Balancer conditions that can be set at anytime.

A load balancing rule refers to an IP address and port(s) on which load balancing traffic will be accepted. Limiting the number of rules limits availability of the load balancer.

For Azure, only the Standard Load Balancer rules are measured, since only these rule types will affect costs.

For general information, see Azure Load Balancing Overview.

Memory MB

The highest number of megabytes (MB) allowed for RAM-based storage at anytime.

Received network bytes

The highest allowable number of bytes that can be received over the network by the virtual machine.

Sent network bytes

The highest allowable number of bytes that can be sent over the network by the virtual machine.
