You must choose a size type for the virtual machine that Secure Web Gateway is to run on, according to how you want to use Secure Web Gateway, for example, testing or production.
You should also consider network performance and the number of NICs that you plan to run with Secure Web Gateway.
This table shows some common use cases and Azure size types from which you can choose.
NOTE: Web caching is not included among the features of Web Gateway when run on Azure, which reduces the requirements for available hard-disk space.
| Use | RAM (in GB) | Hard-disk space (in GB) | CPU cores | Azure instance type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Functional testing (user interface based on Java applet or desktop client) | 4 | 80 | 4 | Standard_B2s |
| Functional testing (HTML-based user interface) | 8 | 80 | 4 | Standard_B2ms Standard_D2s_v3 |
| Production (minimum) | 16 | 80 | 4 | Standard_B4ms Standard_D4s_v3 |
