Been trying to get a FreeBSD VM server running on Azure on a "Standard
DS" size VM (so I have access to SSD storage for PostgreSQL). The
"Standard DS" series of VMs also have faster/newer CPUs than the
original "Standard A" series of VMs. I am using the image of FreeBSD
from here: https://vmdepot.msopentech.com/Vhd/Show?vhdId=56718&version=61117
. After setting up the VM it started rebooting every hour or so. Initially I
thought this was an Azure issue and Azure was forcibly rebooting the VM because
it wasn't getting health reports back. But I don't' believe this is
the case anymore and I think FreeBSD is crashing. (Note: I have setup a FreeBSD
VM with a "Standard A" series VM and that seems to be running fine -
though it looks like it might have crashed after about 38 hours which is much
better than crashing after 1 hour).
Here is the "last" log from the last two days:

There are boot times without previous shutdown times - and there is that
"crash" text (which is why I'm thinking it is a crash).
I added this to /etc/rc.conf:
dumpdev="AUTO"
dumpdir="/var/crash"
Here is the info on the swapfile:
sudo swapinfo -h

Server has 3.5 GB of RAM.
Here is the boot log after a crash (says there are no core dumps found... any
way to figure out why it is not dumping the core?):
