Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dedicated host?
A dedicated host is a physical server that is exclusively dedicated to a single customer. In Azure, this means the physical hardware is not shared with any other Azure tenants, providing enhanced isolation and control.
Who should use dedicated hosts?
Dedicated hosts are ideal for organizations with strict compliance requirements, sensitive data, or applications that demand predictable, high performance and isolation from other tenants.
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 underlying physical server, offering a higher level of isolation and control.
