B Family
Features
Usage Flexibility: B-series VMs are well-suited for tasks that don’t require constant full CPU performance
Ideal Applications: They are perfect for web servers, proof of concepts, small databases, and development environments
Performance Needs: B-series VMs are designed for workloads with sporadic high performance needs, offering burstable performance when required

Use Cases
The 'B' series of Azure VMs are general-purpose instances that differ from traditional ones by using a CPU credit system. Unlike fixed-performance VMs, B-series VMs accumulate credits when operating below a base CPU performance level and use these credits for higher performance bursts. Once credits are depleted, the VM reverts to its base performance until new credits are earned.
Bpsv2 Series
Features
Processor: Uses the Arm-based Ampere® Altra® processor, operating at 3.0 GHz
Price-Performance: Provides excellent value for general-purpose tasks
Memory Sizes: Ranges from 0.5 GiB to 4 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Use Cases: Suitable for applications with variable CPU demands, such as development and test servers, low-traffic web servers, small databases, microservices, proof-of-concept servers, build servers, and code repositories
Burstable Performance: Supports burstable performance by accumulating credits when operating below baseline performance.
Credit Utilization: When credits are available, the VM can exceed baseline performance and use up to 100% of the vCPU to handle higher CPU demands.
