Microsoft has announced a monster single-instance Azure VM that supports up to 12 Terabytes of memory being made available in the near future. This is the largest memory configuration for a single VM in the public cloud and is part of their M-Series of virtual machines.

These new VM sizes will be based on Intel Xeon Scalable (Skylake) processors, which are optimized to be used in cloud infrastructures. The 12TB virtual machine will most likely utilize the Intel XEON Platinum processor, which supports up to 28 CPU cores, 8+ socket configurations, and up to 12TB of memory.
