Azure VM generations evolve rapidly, and staying on older SKUs often means missing out on significant improvements in performance, storage, and networking efficiency. With Azure Boost-enabled v6 SKUs and the latest v7 generation Microsoft is redefining what modern virtual machines can deliver while improving overall price-performance.
In this session, we'll explore why regular VM SKU upgrades should be treated as an operational best practice rather than a one-time migration project. You'll learn what Azure Boost changes under the hood, how technologies such as NVMe and MANA impact performance, and which migration constraints and compatibility challenges you need to consider.
We'll also discuss Microsoft's increasing focus on newer VM generations and what capacity restrictions on older SKUs mean for platform planning.
