What Are Dedicated Virtual Machine Hosts?

The OCI Compute service’s dedicated virtual machine host feature provides you with the ability to run your Compute virtual machine (VM) instances on dedicated servers that are a single tenant and not shared with other customers.

Where Is It Supported & What Are Its Limitations?

When you create a dedicated virtual machine host, you have to select a shape for the host.

You are billed for the dedicated virtual machine host as soon as you create it, but you are not billed for any of the individual VM instances you place on it. You will still be billed for image licensing costs if they apply to the image you are using for the VM instances.

For instances launched on a dedicated virtual machine host, all of the VM.Standard2 shapes are supported.

The following features are not supported:

• Instance configurations
• Instance pools
• Autoscaling
