A financial services company is migrating its sensitive data processing workloads to the cloud. Due to strict regulatory compliance, the company's security policy requires that its virtual machines must run on physically isolated server hardware, not shared with any other tenants. Which cloud billing model is specifically designed to meet this requirement?
A Dedicated Host is a physical server that is leased in its entirety to a single cloud tenant. This model provides physical isolation of hardware, which is often a requirement for meeting strict compliance and regulatory standards, such as in finance or healthcare. Unlike standard pay-as-you-go or reserved instances that run on multi-tenant hardware, a dedicated host ensures no other customers' instances will run on the same physical machine. Spot instances are unsuitable as they are interruptible and run on spare, multi-tenant capacity.
