She was quick. Really quick. No one. Or even azure can catch her. She was clicking her hooves. She had taken off her broken Duffy cape. Burrito bundled two time while she ran. Her mask was in the shape of a half sun and half moon shape initial. She didn’t stop. Only running. The eclipsial would be happy to receive blood from another cult.

(Azure better come catch her. Or two time might be gone for 5 days.)

"NAOO NOT FIVE DAYS!!! I NEED MY NIGHTSHADE!!!! GIVE HIM BACK!!!"

*starts running after her, trying to catch her back as much as he could*

(even tho azure not disponible yet, you can still interact with him thru using two time. You can't be tat horrible... can you- :c)

Do the dwarves have a favourite mission type or biome by any chance?

Driller's favourite biome is Magma Core! nice and toasty! He's a little saddened about his bunkies being,,, too spicy for everyone else however. Favourite mission type would of course be On-site refining I think.

Gunner's favourite biome is Crystaline Caverns. He likes the simple things, plus the generation of the caves is easy for his zip lines to reach places. Favourite mission type? probably elimination, self explanatory. though he does love big hoardes too.

Scout's favourite biome would be Glacial Strata. Sure, he hates the cold and the ice and everything about it- but the snow does cushion his falls! which he vehemently denies happen. Favourite mission type? he never knows what mission it is. he just does the side objectives. but perhaps point extraction?

Engineer's favourite biome is Hollow Bough. he enjoys the calming sounds of wood creaking, plus the whole place has a nice earthy smell to it. Favourite mission is perhaps Industrial Sabotage. He likes watching the machines at work. And enjoys destroying them with his superior ones much more.

Microsoft Azure Cobalt 100-based VMs Are Now Accessible

Azure Cobalt 100-based VMs

The new Azure Cobalt 100-based Virtual Machines (VMs) are now readily available to the general public. The 64-bit Arm-based Azure Cobalt 100 CPU, which Microsoft first developed entirely in-house, powers these virtual machines. In optimizing and customizing each layer of the infrastructure stack from silicon to servers to services, they mark a critical turning point in planning and advancing cloud architecture. Azure Cobalt 100-based vms, which combine hardware and software vertically, are one of Microsoft’s most recent innovations in improving and optimizing its cloud infrastructure using an end-to-end systems approach, to provide its customers with the ideal balance of performance, power efficiency, and scalability.

This includes its memory-optimized Epsv6-series VM series as well as its new general-purpose Dpsv6-series and Dplsv6-series VMs. For a variety of scale-out and cloud-native Linux-based workloads, such as data analytics, web and application servers, open source databases, caches, and more, they are an appealing alternative since they provide up to 50% better pricing performance than our previous generation Arm-based virtual machines.

Comparison of Azure Arm-based and new Azure Cobalt 100-based virtual machines

Comparing the new Azure Cobalt 100-based vms to earlier generations of Azure Arm-based virtual machines, the former provide superior performance on a variety of workloads: up to 1.4x CPU performance, up to 1.5x performance on workloads based on Java, and up to 2x performance on web servers,.NET applications, and in-memory cache applications. Compared to the earlier generation of Azure Arm-based virtual machines, these VMs can handle up to 1.5 times network bandwidth and 4 times local storage IOPS (with NVMe).

Availability

North Europe, Southeast Asia, Sweden Central, Switzerland North, UAE North, West Europe, Japan East, Mexico Central, Canada Central, Central US, East US 2, East US, Germany West Central, and West US 2 are all places where the new virtual machines are widely accessible. Australia East, Brazil South, France Central, India Central, South Central US, UK South, West US 3, and West US will be additions to the list in 2024 and beyond.

Consumer acceptance and situations

While the preview period was in effect, Azure worked with several internal and external clients. As an illustration, IC3, the platform that facilitates billions of customer discussions in Microsoft Teams, is improving customer service for its expanding clientele by up to 45% on virtual machines (VMs) based on Cobalt 100.

It also provides Cobalt 100-based VMs to a large number of its independent software vendor (ISV) partners that provide software as a service (SaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS) via Microsoft Azure.

Embracing innovation and customer benefits on the path to Arm

The integration of Arm technologies and contributions to Arm architecture are not new to Microsoft. Its development of significant industry standards that readied the Arm architecture for datacenter-scale computing was made possible by this experience. Along with this, it has been collaborating closely with Arm on industry projects like ServerReady and SystemReady, both of which have earned industry accolades.

The goal of its foray into Arm-based virtual machines is to provide exceptional power efficiency and price-performance. Because of these advantages, the Cobalt 100-based virtual machines (VMs) represent this hope. Microsoft customers may now enjoy a unique blend of cost-effectiveness and performance with its adoption of Arm-based virtual machines.

Ecosystem for developers

With significant advancements over the past few years, Arm’s developer ecosystem is still thriving. Major programming languages and platforms, including Java, C++, and.NET, offer Arm-native versions. For each of these platforms and languages, it has made investments in Arm-specific optimizations to make the most of the Arm architecture’s potential.

With several well-known infrastructure and deployment options now offering native Arm compatibility, the broader ecosystem has embraced Arm. To continually create, test, and deploy apps, many developers utilize GitHub Actions, the company’s continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) workflow engine. Both GitHub-hosted runners and self-hosted runners which may be installed on local Arm hardware or in an Arm virtual machine are now available for Arm.

Because of their efficient resource use, portability, reproducibility, isolation and security, and faster development workflow, containers are a popular deployment target. It is now possible to create Arm agent nodes and combine x86 and Arm architecture nodes in a cluster using Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).

Characteristics

With Azure Virtual Machines, you may choose from a variety of memory ratios for a specific vCPU size, allowing you to customize the setup that best suits your workloads in terms of memory requirements and CPU performance. To enable you to implement the choice that best suits your workload, all of these virtual machine series are offered with and without local drives.

With a memory-to-vCPU ratio of 4:1, the new Dpsv6-series and Dpdsv6-series general-purpose virtual machines have up to 96 vCPUs and 384 GiB of RAM. They operate well with cloud-native systems like AKS, web servers, application servers, small to medium open-source databases, and scale-out workloads. Arm developers can use these virtual machines (VMs) in development, test, and CI/CD pipelines.

192 GiB of RAM and up to 96 vCPUs are available in the new Dplsv6-series and Dpldsv6-series virtual machines (2:1 memory-to-vCPU ratio). Media transcoding, microservices, gaming servers, small databases, and workloads that don’t require a lot of RAM per virtual CPU are all ideal uses for them.

The new memory-optimized virtual machines (VMs) from the Epsv6 and Epdsv6 series have up to 96 virtual CPUs and 672 gigabytes of random-access memory (up to 8:1 memory-to-vCPU ratio). These virtual machines are intended for tasks requiring a lot of memory, like data analytics, in-memory caching apps, and big databases.

Standard SSD, Standard HDD, Premium SSD, and Ultra Disk storage are among the remote disk formats that the new virtual machines support. See Azure managed disk type for further information on different disk types and their availability by location. Unlike virtual machines, disk storage is priced separately. You can use the command-line interface (CLI), PowerShell, SDKs, Azure portal, and APIs to deploy these new virtual machines.

Costing

The Azure Virtual Machines pricing and Pricing calculator pages provide additional information regarding the cost of Azure Cobalt 100-based VMs.

You can also reduce your expenses by using Spot Virtual Machines, Reserved Instances, and Azure’s compute savings plan. Because reserved virtual machine instances are paid for in advance for one or three years, they can lower expenses and enhance your budget forecasts. Get one-year Azure Reserved Virtual Machine (VM) Instances for specified Linux VMs and save 15% for a limited time.

From October 1, 2024, to March 31, 2025, this bargain is valid. Details can be found here. You can choose how much you want to spend on Azure VMs and other Azure services with the Azure savings plan for compute. For applications that can withstand disruptions and have variable execution times, Spot Virtual Machines can further optimize your cloud expenditures while also drastically lowering the cost of operating in Azure.

Power efficiency and pricing performance in a new era

With the release of Azure Cobalt 100-based VMs, a new era in Azure’s architecture has begun. Through its proprietary silicon program, it provides its clients with outstanding value, performance, and power efficiency.

pregnant!omega!Reader being insatiable at five months pregnant and driving your alpha mates wild with your neediness. — [ 18+ ] PRT. 1 | Kyle & Johnny

You keep whining and yowling dramatically, calling out to all four of them in your cozy nest, and smiling slyly, when you hear their swift feet carry them to you—like a pampered princess ringing a tiny bell for her servants.

Only that instead of food or drink, you require their fat knots and hot mouths instead.

"Steamin' Jesus," Johnny groans, dragging his tongue over the curve of your large baby bump, up to the valley between your swollen breasts. "Gonna give us a bloody heart attack one o' these days, hen."

Next to you, Kyle nuzzles your throat, tugging on your hair to gently tilt your head back for better access.

"Let her be, Soap, our sweet 'mega needs us." He sucks a mark into your neck, eliciting a moan from you while his chest rumbles with a growl.

They're both as naked as you are, warm and solid as they surround you just how the doctor said they should whenever you get anxious and needy; filling the nest with their calming scents, pheromones oozing oof their skin, aphrodisiacs tangy in their saliva.

Johnny peppers wet, open-mouthed kisses over your swollen breasts, lavishing them with sweet attention while your darkened nipples peak and tighten, causing your toes to curl and your breath to hitch with a pained whine.

Both alphas growl softly, all too aware of your sore body, and the strain the two unborn pups are putting on your lovely body.

"Lemme help ye, luv," Johnny husks, licking his lips as he gazes up at you with dark eyes, dark like the deep blue sea. "Lemme taste ye, aye? Ease tha' pressure in yer bonnie tits."

Kyle utters a breathy curse against your spit-slick skin as Johnny's words affect him, too. He pulls back to look at the other alpha before cupping your jaw to smooch your lips, murmuring: "I want to help you, too, baby. Can we?"

You nod, panting softly as your eyes flit between them. They both look utterly wrecked already—lips swollen, eyes hazy, cocks hard and pulsing between their muscular thighs.

"Yes, okay," you mewl, huffing as you prop yourself up in your elbows while Kyle helps you. "I need your help."

Their nostrils flare at your pathetic little mewls, bulging muscles flexing with restraint as they shift their positions, laying down on each of your side.

"Been fuckin' dreamin' about tastin' yer milk, luv. Fuck." Johnny is beaming, his cockhead leaking clear droplets of pre as he slowly ruts against your thigh, dragging the sticky mess along your supple skin. "Am starvin' f'ye."

Kyle cups your left tit reverently, thumbs over your stiff nipple before rolling it between rough fingertips until a small drop of pale golden liquid dribbles over his knuckles.

"Holy shite, lookit this, baby." He swallows thickly and his throat bobs. "You're leakin' for us." Johnny snarls at the sight, something wild and feral clawing behind his ribcage, and Kyle growls at him. "Easy there, Soap. Don't scare her."

"S-Sorry," he mutters, and his buff chest heaves with panting breaths; sweat matting the dark hairs on his pecs and running down his taut stomach. "Ah'll behave, hen."

When they both finally latch onto each of your ample breasts, plump lips closing around puffy nipples, your eyes roll back so hard, you fear you might faint at the sudden jolts of relief and pleasure wrecking through your body.

Kyle suckles gently, circling your sensitive areola with the tip of his tongue while massaging the underside of your breast with his hand to make you leak more milk into his eager mouth, his hazel eyes shut in bliss, dark lashes fluttering over his high cheekbones.

Johnny, on your other side, sucks on your tit like he's at the verge of dehydration, one hand splayed on the curve of your large belly possessively. His moans are muffled, his jaw unhinged to fit more of your flesh into his mouth while he drools and huffs breaths through his nostrils, eyes twinkling like azure gemstones as he stares at you adoringly, unblinking.

Words leave you as your body and mind succumb to the feeling of your alpha mates taking care of you so eagerly, so loving. Your head lolls back, your back arches as the tension leaves your chest only to pool between your legs, wet and warm.

When your angled knees fall apart and the scent of your arousal becomes more prominent in the air around the master bedroom, both Kyle and Johnny act instinctively—two different hands sliding between your legs to cup and toy with your mound.

Fingers petting your bush, parting your folds until you mewl and moan, exposing your slick heat to the air until your clit swells even more, pulsing with need.

"S' fuckin' good, luv," Johnny mutters around your nipple, liquid dribbling from the corners of his mouth to run down his stubbly chin, looking like a fat puppy high on mommy's milk.

"Taste bloody divine," Kyle agrees, flicking his tongue over your nipple with a lewd groan before kissing the spot where your heart flutters rapidly while his fingers rub figure eights over your swollen clit, changing between fast and slow strokes until you're panting and dizzy with arousal.

"Ngh–Kyle–" you sob, nails digging into the plush blankets underneaths you as your legs begin to tremble; your climax building up deep and intense at the base of your spine.

Suddenly, Johnny slips two fingers into your sopping cunt, grinning against your tit as you yip wantonly. "Tha's right, lovie," he murmurs, his voice a low gravel. "Feel us both, aye?" He curls his fingers deeply inside your silky walls, brushing against your sweet spot repeatedly as he fingerfucks you slowly.

Their simultaneous stimulation and the lewd suckling and smacking of their lips against your tits is enough to make you combust, bracketed between them—all warm and needy and safe.

You cry out when you climax, face twisting in pleasure-pain as your spine curves against their bodies, belly bulging while your pussy quivers and clenches; gummy walls sucking Johnny's thick fingers in, clit throbbing under Kyle's fingertips.

They watch with glee and awe as you fall apart between them, eyes glinting with pride, and cocks twitching and drooling precum with raw desire for their perfect omega.

"Beautiful," Kyle breathes, leaning in to nose along your jawline before helping you ease down on your back again. "So bloody gorgeous, babe."

You go pliant, blood rushing like warm molasses in your veins, eyes glossy and unfocused as you shudder with pleasant aftershocks when Johnny pulls his fingers out of your fluttering hole.

"Aye." He grins, gazing down at you with a cheeky grin. "The bonniest 'nd best fuckin' omega there is, and ye're all ours."

And then he brings his fingers up to lick your syrupy slick from his digits with a lewd moan, eyes rolling back into their sockets as the saccharine taste of you bursts on his tongue, mixing with the aftertaste of your sweet colostrum.

"Oi, ye muppets!" Price's voice suddenly booms through the house, causing both younger alphas to duck their heads, eyes wide with shock and slight fear of possible consequences.

You're too blissed out to care, fully aware that no harm or reprimand would ever come to you in this state, while both Johnny and Kyle whimper deep in their throats, squirming and rather panicked as they look at each other for help.

Then, two pairs of heavy steps can be heard marching up the stairs.

Price and Simon. You giggle softly, rubbing one hand over your pregnant belly as your puppies stir at the commotion.

The door to the master bedroom flings open, revealing two more rather pissed looking alphas.

"Oh... shite," Johnny grumbles, curling up behind you while Kyle glares at him, huffing: "Bloody coward."

"You both knows she's supposed to be resting," Price growls lowly, hands tightening into fists as he assesses the scene.

Next to him, Simon rucks his balaclava up to sniff the thick air sharply before he snarls: "Could've called us, too, ya fuckin' twonks."

wonder - sirius black

summary: sometimes sirius wonders what life would be like if he hadn't gone to azkaban. if you'd had children together. but tonight, he doesn't have to wonder too much.

Sirius held you close in his arms, only hearing the steady constant of your breathing in the otherwise quiet household. Everyone had either left for home after the meeting or were sound asleep upstairs, in some of the many bedrooms available in the vast manor. Sirius drew abstract shapes on your back, your face pressed against his chest, legs tangled in his as you cuddled on an expensive couch in grimmauld place’s old living room. His head was ducked down, capturing your lips in a slow kiss.

The arms wrapped around your torso tightened around your body to hoist you higher up on the couch so your faces were levelled. You brought a hand up to Sirius’s face, thumb caressing the short stubble on his cheek. Sirius bit down gently on your bottom lip, and your mouth fell open into a satisfied sigh, giving Sirius the access to your mouth. His tongue glided between your lips, massaging yours as he groaned quietly, the sound swallowed up by your mouth, moulding against his.

Sirius’s eyelashes tickled your cheeks and you placed your hands on his shoulders as you felt him uncomfortably shift his legs on either side of you. You used his chest to help you push yourself up, lips separating for a brief second to change positions on the couch. Sirius wrapped an arm around your waist tightly, helping you hover above him as he moved both his legs underneath you so you could sit on his lap, legs draped to his side.

One of Sirius’s hands moved to rest on your exposed thigh, legs only covered by sleep shorts. For a moment Sirius wondered what your life would have been like if he never went to Azkaban, if the two of you had children while you were still young. Would your nights be like this? Changing into your pyjamas late at night before sneaking down to the living room while your children were asleep?

A giggle broke Sirius out of his daze, and he realised he had let out a guttural groan, pushing his lips harder against yours. His cheeks burned hotly, but both your hands were cupping Sirius’s face as you moved your kisses across his cheeks, to his jaw and down his neck, easing his humiliation away. A loud gasp had you breaking away from your husband, both of your heads snapping towards the source of the sound.

Harry Potter stood in the living room’s entryway, face flushing a dark pink as he apologised “Sorry, I’ll just-” You slid off Sirius’s lap, shaking your head softly as Sirius told him “It’s alright, Harry, come here.” Awkwardly, your godson walked further into the living room, obliging Sirius’s request. Furrowing your eyebrows worriedly, you glanced up at the clock in the corner of the room. “How come you’re still up, love?”

Harry shrugged, sitting on the edge of the sofa. “Just couldn’t sleep.” Sirius extended an arm out and Harry shuffled forward until he could fill the face in front of it, laying his head on his godfather’s chest. You stood up from the couch, leaving the two silent boys in the living room. You returned a couple of minutes later with a cup of warm water with honey and lemon, which you offered to Harry, who was rubbing his eyes tiredly, already being whisked away by sleep again. He thanked you softly, eyes filling with love as he took in your and Sirius’s warmth.

As you settled down on Sirius’s other side, pressing a kiss to his forehead, he thought, maybe he already knew what life with kids is like.
