What is host cache in Azure?
Host caching works by bringing storage closer to the VM that can be written or read to quickly. The amount of storage that is available to the VM for host caching is in the documentation. For example, you can see the Standard_D8s_v3 comes with 200 GiB of cache storage.

Why is my Azure VM so slow?
If you are using shared storage services such as Azure Files it also means that you need to understand the performance is linked to the size of the share. So, if you have applications or other services that are dependent on a shared folder, and you haven’t properly sized the share you will get crappy performance.
What type of storage can only be used with Azure virtual machine and is best for I O intensive application?
Standard HDDs are designed to deliver write latencies of less than 10 ms and read latencies of less than 20 ms for most IO operations. Actual performance may vary depending on IO size and workload pattern, however. When working with VMs, you can use standard HDD disks for dev/test scenarios and less critical workloads.
Does Azure VM need public IP?
If you want to connect to a VM from the internet, the VM must have a public IP address associated to it. If you want to create a new VM with a public IP address, you can do so using the Azure portal, the Azure CLI, or Azure PowerShell. Public IP addresses have a nominal fee.

What is readonly host Caching on premium disks?
Premium Disks are designed to provide single-digit millisecond latencies for most IO operations. If you enable ReadOnly host caching on premium storage disks, you can get much lower read latency. We will discuss Disk Caching in more detail in later section on Optimizing Application Performance.
