Azure Dedicated Host pricing Preview
A dedicated physical server to host your Azure VMs for Windows and Linux
- No upfront cost
- No termination fees
- Pay only for what you need
Azure Dedicated Host is an Azure service that provides physical servers - able to host one or more Azure virtual machines - dedicated to your organization and your workloads. The server capacity is not shared with other customers. As you provision the host, you gain direct visibility and control over the underlying Azure infrastructure.
Dedicated Host configuration table
You can deploy only one supported Azure VM series at a time on Azure Dedicated Host. The VM series and sizes depend on the Azure Dedicated Host Type. For example, on an Azure Dedicated Host Type 1, you will be able to deploy any Dsv3-Series VM sizes - from D2s v3 to D64s v3. The configuration table below provides you with more detailed information.

FAQ
-
You will pay the Pay as you go rate for every hour the host is provisioned, and you will pay for the entire host regardless of the number of VM instances that are running on the host. Any additional charges, such as software licenses, are charged separately.
-
The software licenses are billed separately at individual VM level based on the usage. Eligible customers can leverage the Azure Hybrid Benefits to save on licenses.
-
Because the hardware is dedicated to you, the outsourcing software management terms applicable to Windows server and SQL server licenses acquired prior to October 1, 2019 permit you to allocate your existing licenses to Azure Dedicated Host just as you would license a server in your own data center. Eligible customers can also use the Azure Hybrid Benefit for savings on Azure Dedicated Host deployments. Learn more on the Azure Hybrid Benefits page.
-
During the Preview period, Azure Reserved VM Instances are not available for purchase on Azure Dedicated Host.
-
Yes, you can mix different VM sizes on a single host. For example, you can deploy D2s v3 and D16s v3 VMs on the same host. You cannot mix VMs from different VM series (e.g. Dsv3 and Esv3).
