The CloudShare metrics that are available for managing Azure resource quota reflect information that is made available from Azure.
For additional information, refer to the Azure documentation. You may find the following references helpful: Azure Resource Pricing Calculator, Azure Monitor Supported Metrics.
The text below provides basic details for each available Azure metric that is controllable through CloudShare.
- 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 any time. 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 any time. From the Sub-Metric drop-down 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) at any time. For general information, see GPU Optimized VMs.
- Instance uptime in seconds - The maximum time (in seconds) that a VM instance will be in operation.
- Load balancer rules - The highest number of Azure Standard Load Balancer conditions that can be set at any time. 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 any time.
- 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.
