Compute-Optimized ARM Instances on Elastic Cloud for Azure

1 post · Sep 2026

What this trail covers

Elastic Cloud on Azure now offers compute-optimized ARM hardware profiles, leveraging Microsoft's Cobalt ARM processors. This provides improved price-performance for CPU-bound workloads, particularly in indexing, aggregations, and various search operations. The new profiles utilize the Dpldsv6 VM series with local NVMe SSD storage for enhanced random read performance. This offering is available in select Azure regions and supports migration of existing deployments.
