Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dedicated host?
A dedicated host is a physical server that is entirely dedicated to your use. Your virtual machines run on this physical server, providing isolation from other customers and ensuring predictable performance and security.
Who benefits from dedicated hosts?
Organizations with strict compliance requirements, those running performance-sensitive applications, or businesses that need to isolate their workloads from multi-tenant environments benefit most from dedicated hosts.
How does this differ from a standard VM in Azure?
Standard Azure VMs run on shared physical hardware, meaning resources are shared among multiple customers. Dedicated hosts provide you with exclusive access to the underlying physical server, offering greater isolation and control.
