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 server's resources, providing greater control, security, and predictable performance compared to shared virtualized environments.
Who should use dedicated hosts?
Dedicated hosts are ideal for organizations with strict compliance requirements, those running memory-intensive or performance-sensitive applications, or businesses that need greater control over their hardware environment for licensing or security reasons.
How does this differ from standard Azure VMs?
Standard Azure VMs run on shared physical hardware, while dedicated hosts provide you with an entire physical server. This isolation offers enhanced security, predictable performance, and helps meet specific compliance or licensing needs that shared environments cannot.
