A dedicated host profile represents the combination of virtual CPU processing power and memory that is available for the dedicated host that you provision.
You need a dedicated group that matches the profile family and the virtual server class of the profile selected for the host.

Dedicated Hosts for VPC are single-tenant hosts that are available exclusively for your use. Dedicated hosts provide the flexibility for you to use your own software licenses, and provide maximum isolation and control over instance placement to help address corporate compliance and regulatory requirements. Dedicated host groups are built into the solution and can help you define one or more dedicated hosts for a specific business purpose.
Security
A virtualized, single-tenant solution provides a secure alternative to multi-tenant options on VPC. Only users within your account that have the required permissions can create instances on the host.
Control Management
You determine the dedicated host or group where you want to provision virtual server instances.
Performance
Resources are dedicated to your workloads, maximizing performance because the resources are not shared with other customers.
Integrated into IBM Cloud
With dedicated hosts, you can easily access IBM Cloud Platform tools like the Usage Dashboard, Identity and Access Management (IAM), and Resource Groups.
Profiles
Dedicated hosts are available in a variety of profile sizes to best suit the size and scale of your workloads: Balanced, Compute, Memory, Very High Memory, and Ultra High Memory. For more information, see Dedicated host profiles.
