Design elements - Azure architecture - Virtual machines

The vector stencils library "Azure architecture - Virtual machines" contains 17 Virtual machines symbols.
Use this cloud computing icon set to design your Azure architecture diagrams with ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software.
"A virtual machine (VM) is a software implementation of a machine (for example, a computer) that executes programs like a physical machine. Virtual machines are separated into two major classes, based on their use and degree of correspondence to any real machine:
(1) A system virtual machine provides a complete system platform which supports the execution of a complete operating system (OS). These usually emulate an existing architecture, and are built with the purpose of either providing a platform to run programs where the real hardware is not available for use (for example, executing on otherwise obsolete platforms), or of having multiple instances of virtual machines leading to more efficient use of computing resources, both in terms of energy consumption and cost effectiveness (known as hardware virtualization, the key to a cloud computing environment), or both.
(2) A process virtual machine (also, language virtual machine) is designed to run a single program, which means that it supports a single process." [Virtual machine. Wikipedia]
The symbols example "Design elements - Azure architecture - Virtual machines" is included in the Azure Architecture solution from the Computer and Networks area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

This example of cloud computing system architecture diagram was created on base of the figure "Workflow to distribute workitems to pooled VMs" in the article "Azure Batch technical overview" from the Microsoft Azure website.
"Workitems workflow.
Figure 4 shows a you how to submit an application to a pool where it's distributed for processing. This uses the Batch API. ...
1. Upload input files (such as source data or images) required for a job to an Azure storage account. These files must be in the storage account so that the Batch service can access them. The Batch service loads them onto a TVM when the task runs.
2. Upload the dependent binary files to the storage account. The binary files include the program that is run by the task and the dependent assemblies. These files must also be accessed from storage and are loaded onto the TVM.
3. Create a pool of TVMs, specifying the size of the TVMs in the pool, the OS they run, and other properties. When a task runs, it is assigned a TVM from this pool.
4. Create a workitem. A job will be automatically created when you create a workitem. A workitem enables you to manage a job of tasks.
5. Add tasks to the job. Each task uses the program that you uploaded to process information from a file you uploaded.
6. Run the application and monitor the results of the output." [azure.microsoft.com/ en-us/ documentation/ articles/ batch-technical-overview/ ]
