Dedicated Host for physical isolation
Eskdale Defense requires that its Windows Server VMs run on physical servers dedicated to its own subscription, with control over when platform maintenance is applied, and it wants to use existing Windows Server licenses. What should you recommend?
- A.Isolated App Service plans in an App Service Environment
- B.Spot virtual machines in an availability set
- C.Azure Dedicated Host with a maintenance configuration
- D.Confidential virtual machines
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Azure Dedicated Host with a maintenance configuration
Why: Dedicated Host provides physical servers used only by the customer, supports maintenance configurations to control when platform updates are applied, and supports Azure Hybrid Benefit for Windows Server. Confidential VMs encrypt memory but still run on shared hosts. Spot VMs can be evicted at any time, and an App Service Environment hosts web apps, not general-purpose VMs.
