Intro

Azure Dedicated Host provides physical servers that host one or more Azure virtual machines. Your server is dedicated to your organization and workloads—capacity isn’t shared with other customers. This host-level isolation helps address compliance requirements. As you provision the host, you gain visibility into (and control over) the server infrastructure, and you determine the host’s maintenance policies.

Tips and Tidbits

  • You can provision dedicated hosts within a region, availability zone, and fault domain.

  • You can place VMs directly into your provisioned hosts, in whatever configuration best meets your needs.

  • Dedicated Host is charged at the host level regardless of the number of Azure VMs you run on the host.

  • Software licenses are billed separately from compute resources at a VM level based on usage.
