Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Dedicated Host in Azure?
A Dedicated Host in Azure is a physical server that is dedicated solely to your organization. It provides the benefits of dedicated hardware, such as enhanced security and compliance, while still being managed by Azure.
How does a Dedicated Host differ from a Virtual Machine?
A Virtual Machine (VM) is a software-based emulation of a computer system that runs on shared physical hardware. A Dedicated Host is the actual physical server on which your VMs can run, ensuring they are isolated from other customers' workloads.
Can I use my existing Windows Server licenses with Dedicated Hosts?
Yes, you can bring your own licenses with Software Assurance to Azure Dedicated Hosts through the Azure Hybrid Benefit, potentially reducing your costs.
