Well, first of all you choose the type of Azure Dedicated Host that you\nwant. Currently there are three types, each based on a particular VM series:\nDsv3, Esv3 or Fsv2, and you can run any virtual machines from the chosen family\non a particular Azure Dedicated Host. Each Azure Dedicated Host has a specific\nnumber of vCPUs available and that dictates how many virtual machines you can\nrun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, for example, the Dsv3 series Azure Dedicated Host has 64 vCPUs, so you could run 32 x D2s v3 VMs since they have 2 vCPUs each, or mix and match with 2 x D8s v3 (8 vCPUs each) + 2 x D16s v3 (16 vCPUs each) + 8 x D2s v3 (2 vCPUs each). You then pay an hourly charge for the Azure Dedicated Host, regardless of how many virtual machines are running, and that\u2019s $3.38 per hour for the Dsv3 Series. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This hourly charge\nis for the compute power of the virtual machines, so then you need to pay for\nthe software you want to run in those virtual machines. This can either be done\non a metered, hourly basis, or you can bring your own Windows Server and SQL\nServer licences if you\u2019re eligible for the Azure Hybrid Benefit \u2013 either\nthrough Software Assurance or if you have a Server Subscription bought through\nCSP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How many licences\ndo you bring? Well, you can follow the usual rules for licensing virtual\nmachines in Azure, or you can license all the physical cores on the Azure\nDedicated Host with Windows Server Datacenter or SQL Server Enterprise licences\nto be eligible for running an unlimited number of virtual machines.\n\nIn\nterms of useful resources, find the announcement here: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2M1TKIB\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/2M1TKIB<\/a>,\nfind the Azure Dedicated Host pricing page here: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2KkxB6m\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/2KkxB6m<\/a>,\nand an updated FAQ on the Azure Hybrid Benefit here: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2g1HEwS\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/2g1HEwS<\/a>.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Microsoft announce the preview of Azure Dedicated Host, a new Azure service that enables customers to run Linux and Windows virtual machines on single-tenant physical servers.
