12-11 Dedicated Host Instances

Last updated Aug 17, 2023 Edit Source

Dedicated Host Instances are designed to meet regulatory requirements.

When you have strict server-bound licensing that won’t support multi-tenancy or cloud deployments you use Dedicated Hosts.

Example

Think of everyone living in an apartment

• When multiple customers are running workloads on the same hardware.
• Virtual Isolation is what separate customers

Example

Think of everyone having their own house

When a single customer has dedicated hardware. Physical Isolation is what separates customers( Like a single-family home)

• Most expensive
• Use when you have strict server-bound licensing that won’t support multi-tenancy or cloud deployments

Dedicated can be offered for:

• On-demand
• Reserved (up to 60% savings)
• Spot (up to 90% savings)

Note

Enterprises and Large Organizations my have security concerns or obligations against sharing the same hardware with other AWS Customers
