Ways to achieve Dedication:

• To achieve Use Explicit Dedication: Create an Affinity Group of type "explicit dedication". Use that AG to deploy a VM.

2. All the Zones will be listed, and if explicit type affinity group is provided, deployment will only happen if any of the resource in that zone will be dedicated to that user's account or domain.
