Amazon EC2 P-family instances (P5/P5e/P5en, P6-B200, P6-B300, P6e-GB200) map to Azure ND-series VMs (ND H100 v5, ND H200 v5, ND GB200 v6, ND GB300 v6).
- Rough generation mapping. P5 (H100) ↔ ND H100 v5. P5e/P5en (H200) ↔ ND H200 v5. P6-B200/P6-B300 ↔ ND GB300 v6 (Blackwell Ultra). P6e-GB200 UltraServers ↔ ND GB200 v6.
- Azure offers AMD Instinct MI300X (ND MI300X v5). AWS's listed accelerated families don't include an AMD Instinct training instance.
- Inference/graphics GPUs. AWS G6/G6e/G7/G7e map to Azure NC/NV families (not detailed in this release).
