Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dedicated host?
A dedicated host is a physical server within Azure that is entirely dedicated to your use. This means you do not share the underlying hardware with any other Azure customers, providing enhanced security and isolation.
What types of workloads are best suited for dedicated hosts?
Dedicated hosts are ideal for workloads with specific security, compliance, or licensing requirements that necessitate dedicated hardware. This includes applications handling sensitive data, those with strict performance needs, or software licensed per-processor or per-core on dedicated hardware.
How does this differ from standard Azure virtual machines?
Standard Azure virtual machines run on shared physical hardware. Dedicated hosts provide you with exclusive access to the physical server, offering a higher level of isolation and predictability compared to shared infrastructure.
