Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dedicated host in Azure?
An Azure Dedicated Host is a physical server dedicated to a single customer. It provides isolation at the physical level, offering enhanced security and compliance benefits for your Azure virtual machines.
How does a dedicated host differ from a regular Azure VM?
Regular Azure VMs run on shared physical hardware, while dedicated hosts provide you with exclusive use of the underlying physical server. This means your VMs are isolated from other Azure customers' workloads.
Can I use my existing Microsoft software licenses with Azure Dedicated Hosts?
Yes, Azure Dedicated Hosts support bring-your-own-license (BYOL) for many Microsoft software products, allowing you to potentially reuse existing investments and optimize costs.
