Public Preview: Azure Dedicated Host – Redeploy | Azure updates

A dedicated host can encounter issues caused by user configurations or underlying host infrastructure. Host ‘Redeploy’ will simplify the process to move an Azure Dedicated Host and its associated Virtual Machines (VMs) from the current node to a different node of the same hardware generation. This could be considered as user-initiated service healing.

After redeploy all the properties of the host will remain unchanged except for ‘Asset Id’ and also any data on the VMs temporary disks would get deleted.

As part of the public preview we are enabling this capability in all regions of the Azure public cloud and users would be able to redeploy their hosts using Portal or CLI.
Support through powershell and support in soveriegn clouds is coming soon.
