Building applications at hyper scale with the latest Azure innovations
summary
Demo shows ARM-based Cobalt 100 VMs on AKS delivering 11,900 req/s versus 8,690 req/s on the prior generation (≈37% higher throughput) and 15% lower latency using Azure Load Testing, with no code changes. New VM v6 families use Azure Boost and the MANA NIC for up to 200 Gbps network and 12.5 GB/s storage throughput. Scale-out tooling includes standby pools (50 VMs <1s, 450 VMs <40s) and Compute Fleet for up to 10,000 instances with mixed spot/on‑demand SKUs.
