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.
Azure Dedicated Host pricing
Dedicated Host is charged at the host level. You will be billed as soon as you provision the host irrespective of the number of Azure VMs running on the host.

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
Expand All-
How does billing work for Azure Dedicated Host?
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.
-
How am I billed for software licenses?
The software licenses are billed separately at individual VM level based on the usage.
-
Can I use my existing Windows Server and SQL Server licenses as I transition my workloads to Azure Dedicated Host?
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.
-
Can I mix multiple instance sizes on a single 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).
