- If you have an Azure Dedicated Host, which is a physical server dedicated to hosting your virtual machines, any attached disks for your IaaS virtual machines would also reside on that physical server.
When you create an Azure Virtual Machine on a Dedicated Host, you have the option to attach disks to that virtual machine. These disks can be Standard HDD, Standard SSD, or Premium SSD storage, and they will be physically attached to the Dedicated Host that is hosting your virtual machine.
Regardless of whether you choose managed or unmanaged disks, the attached disks for your virtual machine on an Azure Dedicated Host will be physically located on that host. This allows for better performance and security since your data doesn't need to leave the physical server.
