Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dedicated host?
A dedicated host is a physical server that is entirely dedicated to a single customer. This means your Azure virtual machines run on hardware that is not shared with any other Azure customer, providing enhanced isolation and security.
Who should use dedicated hosts?
Dedicated hosts are ideal for businesses with strict compliance requirements, those needing predictable performance for critical applications, or organizations that want to maximize their existing software licenses on dedicated hardware.
How does this differ from standard Azure VMs?
Standard Azure VMs are multi-tenant, meaning they share physical hardware with other customers. Dedicated hosts provide single-tenant, exclusive access to the physical server, offering greater isolation and control.
