Interesting to see the comeback of managed dedicated machines in the the hosting world. This seems to run counter to all the trends to move systems to ever more virtualised environments.
If virtual machines on a shared physical server don't cut it, Amazon Web Services customers can now rent dedicated physical servers. The new service, which the cloud giant calls EC2 Dedicated Hosts, allows customers to allocate "an actual physical server" in a specified region to run one or more EC2 instances on top of it.
