Dedicated Hosting in Azure

Dedicated hosting, unlike multitenant hosting such as that used by Azure VMs, allows customers to control all resources on the entire physical server. This control provides physical isolation from other customers and is like the type of control available in on-premises datacenters. Two Azure offerings allow customers to rent dedicated hardware housed in Azure datacenters for their VM workloads, typically chosen based on the organization’s use of comparable on-premises technologies. Windows Server and SQL Server workloads hosted on both offerings are eligible for Azure Hybrid Benefit for those products and include Extended Security Updates (ESUs) for eligible versions of SQL Server and Windows Server at no additional cost.
