Dedicated

In the Ultra Transcenders books

AZ-305AZ-900

Each book explains Dedicated in context, with comparison tables and the common traps.

Terms in this definition

• Authorisation levels

  Key requirements for HTTP triggers in Azure Functions: Anonymous needs no key, Function accepts a function or host key, and Admin requires the master key.

• App Service plan

  Billing unit providing the compute, defined by region, OS, pricing tier and instance size and count, on which one or more apps run. Separate plans are needed for Linux and Windows apps.

• Regional VNet integration

  From the Basic tier up, App Service can send outbound traffic into a VNet by way of a subnet delegated to Microsoft.Web/serverFarms. Reaching the app privately from inside, though, calls for a private endpoint.

• Basic

  Low-cost Log Analytics table plan where ingestion is cheap but each query is charged per GB and runs at workspace scope. Full KQL and simple log search alerts are supported; standard log search alerts are not.

Related terms

• Access mode

  Set on each compute resource, this controls which people can attach and what data they reach. Dedicated (once called single user) belongs to a single user or group, standard (once called shared) keeps many users apart from each other, and Auto leaves the choice to the runtime.

• Android Enterprise

  How Google lets organisations manage Android devices that run Google Mobile Services. After a Managed Google Play account is connected, Intune handles four scenarios: fully managed, dedicated, corporate-owned work profile and personally owned work profile.

• Anomaly detection

  Identifying data points or time-series values that look out of the ordinary, such as fraud or a spike from a sensor. Microsoft retired the dedicated Azure AI Anomaly Detector service on 1 October 2026.

• APK

  The package format used to install Android apps. Intune can push an APK as a line-of-business app, as a private app in Managed Google Play, or straight to fully managed and dedicated devices.

• Azure Dedicated HSM

  Thales hardware security module dedicated to one tenant and placed in your own VNet; the service is being retired and takes no new customers.

• Azure Functions Consumption plan

  Older serverless hosting plan for Functions that caps each run at 10 minutes and lacks both VNet integration and inbound private endpoints, all of which Flex Consumption, Premium and Dedicated plans provide.

• Azure Reservations

  Discounts on Azure resources such as dedicated hosts or SQL vCores in return for committing to a one- or three-year term.

• Azure VMware Solution

  Lets an organisation lift VMware workloads into Azure and keep managing them with the VMware tools it already knows, because vSphere private clouds run there on hardware dedicated to that customer.
