Difference in Core Count of Azure VMs between 'All Inventory' and 'Cloud Service Provider Inventory'.

[Pkumar628]

Hi,

For Azure VMs, I noticed that there is a difference in Core Count information captured between 'All Inventory' and 'Cloud Service Provider Inventory' reports. 

1. What could be the possible causes for this?

2. From an initial look it appears to be a case of hyperthreading. How can I identify if hyperthreading is enabled on any Azure VM or not?

No input, but adding note so I can follow.

For Azure the Cloud Service Provider Inventory isn't able to collect the 'Threads per core' through the Azure APIs so depending on whether hyperthreading is enabled/disabled the number of cores and threads reported in the hardware tab may differ:

Thanks,
