The E64i_v3 & E64is_v3 Azure VMs will not be hardware-isolated on 28 February 2022
Published date: February 22, 2021
Azure Dedicated Host allows you to run your organization’s Linux and Windows virtual machines (VMs) on single-tenant physical servers. We recommend you use Azure Dedicated Host if you need hardware isolated VMs. After 28 February 2022, the E64i_v3 and E64is_v3 Azure VMs will no longer be hardware isolated and isolation guarantee will not be supported.
What actions should I take?
If hardware isolation is not a requirement for you, there is no action you need to take.
