+To be used with the `azurebatch` profile by specifying the `-profile azurebatch`.
+We recommend providing a compute `params.vm_type` of `Standard_D16_v3` VMs by default but these options can be changed if required.
+
+Note that the choice of VM size depends on your quota and the overall workload during the analysis.
+For a thorough list, please refer the [Azure Sizes for virtual machines in Azure](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/sizes).

 ## Running in the background
 
 Nextflow handles job submissions and supervises the running jobs. The Nextflow process must run until the pipeline is finished.
