Understanding use of Dedicated Instance

[Rumman]

Can anyone explain what is the difference between the use case of Dedicated Instances, and Dedicated hosts?

As in exam all scenario-based questions, can you please give an example of when to use dedicated ec2 instances vs dedicated host.

Hello Rumman,

Thanks for bringing up the question.

A Dedicated Host is a physical server with EC2 instance capacity fully dedicated to your use. While Dedicated instances are physically isolated at the host hardware level from instances that belong to other AWS accounts.

In short:

Dedicated Host = dedicated server

Dedicated Instance = shared hardware

The table below highlights the key similarities and differences in the features available to you when using Dedicated Hosts and Dedicated instances.

I understand the difference but I am looking for an example use case where we can use the dedicated host and also an example of a use case of a dedicated instance.
