Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dedicated host in Azure?
A dedicated host in Azure is a physical server that is dedicated to a single customer. This means you have exclusive access to the compute resources on that server, providing greater control, predictability, and compliance capabilities.
Who should use dedicated hosts?
Dedicated hosts are ideal for organizations with specific licensing requirements, strict regulatory compliance needs, or those requiring predictable performance for their most critical applications. This includes businesses in finance, healthcare, and government sectors.
How does a dedicated host differ from a regular virtual machine?
While virtual machines run on physical hardware, they typically share that hardware with other customers. A dedicated host provides you with the entire physical server, ensuring no other customer's workloads run on it, thus offering enhanced isolation and performance predictability.
