Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dedicated host in Azure?
A dedicated host in Azure is a physical server that is entirely dedicated to a single customer. This means you do not share the underlying hardware with any other Azure customers, providing enhanced isolation, security, and performance predictability.
Who should use dedicated hosts?
Organizations with strict compliance requirements, those needing to meet specific data residency mandates, or businesses running applications that demand predictable, high performance and isolation are ideal candidates for dedicated hosts.
How does this license differ from standard Azure VMs?
Standard Azure Virtual Machines run on shared hardware, while dedicated hosts provide you with exclusive access to the physical server. This offers greater control, security, and performance consistency, often required for specific regulatory or performance-sensitive workloads.
