The following tables describe the Azure resource types and sizes that are provisioned with each of the Sitecore ARM templates found in the Sitecore Azure Quickstart Templates repository on GitHub. The single topologies are not supported for production sites – they are purely for development and test purposes.
The Performance rating sizes were determined by performance testing a simple marketing site and finding the smallest resource sizes required to hit the associated visits per month. The simple marketing site was mainly read-only, with no login activity and few xDB interactions. Dependent requests were not tested (for example, images, JS, CSS) and it is assumed these assets will be served by a CDN.
The sizes and instance counts below serve as a starting point for you when trying to figure out the Azure requirements for your site. You may need to adjust some or all of the sizes or instance counts once you have performance tested your application.
