Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dedicated host?
A dedicated host is a physical server that is entirely dedicated to your use. It ensures that your virtual machines run on hardware that is not shared with any other Azure customers, providing enhanced security and performance predictability.
Who benefits from dedicated hosts?
Organizations with strict compliance requirements, those running performance-sensitive applications, or businesses that need to isolate their workloads for security reasons benefit most from dedicated hosts.
How does this differ from standard Azure VMs?
Standard Azure VMs run on shared physical hardware. Dedicated hosts provide you with exclusive access to the physical server, offering a higher level of isolation and control over your compute resources.
