Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dedicated host in Azure?
A dedicated host is a physical server with Azure dedicated to running your virtual machines. This provides greater transparency and control over the hardware your workloads run on, ensuring isolation and compliance.
What is the difference between EDSv4 and other Azure VM series?
The EDSv4 series offers dedicated hosts, meaning you have exclusive access to the physical server. Other VM series typically run on shared hardware, where multiple customers' VMs may share the same physical server.
How does this license help with compliance?
By providing dedicated, isolated hardware, Azure Dedicated Hosts help meet regulatory requirements that mandate physical separation of data or workloads, such as HIPAA or GDPR.
