Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dedicated host in Azure?
A dedicated host in Azure is a physical server that is entirely dedicated to your use. This means your virtual machines run on hardware that is not shared with any other Azure customer, providing enhanced security and isolation.
Who benefits from dedicated hosts?
Organizations with strict compliance requirements, those needing predictable performance for critical applications, or businesses that want to maximize their control over their cloud infrastructure benefit most from dedicated hosts.
How does this license differ from standard Azure VMs?
Standard Azure VMs run on shared hardware, while dedicated hosts provide you with exclusive access to the underlying physical server. This offers greater isolation, security, and performance predictability.
