Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dedicated host?
A dedicated host is a physical server that is entirely dedicated to your use within a cloud provider's data center. This means you do not share the physical hardware with any other customers, offering enhanced security, compliance, and performance predictability.
What kind of workloads are best suited for dedicated hosts?
Dedicated hosts are ideal for workloads that require strict isolation due to security or compliance reasons, applications with high performance demands, or scenarios where you need to maximize the use of existing software licenses on dedicated hardware.
How does this license differ from standard virtual machines?
Standard virtual machines run on shared physical hardware, while dedicated hosts provide you with exclusive access to the entire physical server. This offers greater control, isolation, and predictable performance compared to shared environments.
