-Isolated virtual machine sizes are best suited for workloads that require a high degree of isolation from other customers’ workloads for reasons that include meeting compliance and regulatory requirements.  Utilizing an isolated size guarantees that your virtual machine will be the only one running on that specific server instance.

 ## FAQ
 ### Q: Is the size going to get retired or only its "isolation" feature?
-**A**: Currently, only the isolation feature of the VM sizes is being retired. The deprecated isolated sizes will continue to exist in non-isolated state. If isolation is not needed, there is no action to be taken and the VM will continue to work as expected.
+**A**: Any size that is published as isolated but have no "i" in the name, the isolation feature of the VM sizes is being retired unless communicated differently. Sizes with "i" in the name will be deprecated. 
 
 ### Q: Is there a downtime when my vm lands on a non-isolated hardware?
-**A**: If there is no need of isolation, no action is needed and there will be no downtime. 
-On contrary if isolation is required, our announcement will include the recommended replacement size. Selecting the replacement size will require our customers to resize their VMs.  
+**A**: For VM sizes, where only isolation is deprecating but not the size, no action is needed and there will be no downtime.

 ### Q: Is there any cost delta for moving to a non-isolated virtual machine?
 **A**: No
 
 ### Q: When are the other isolated sizes going to retire?
-**A**: We will provide reminders 12 months in advance of the official deprecation of the isolated size. Our latest announcement includes isolation feature retirement of Standard_G5, Standard_GS5, Standard_E64i_v3 and Standard_E64i_v3.

 ### Q: I'm an Azure Service Fabric Customer relying on the Silver or Gold Durability Tiers. Does this change impact me?
 **A**: No. The guarantees provided by Service Fabric's [Durability Tiers](../articles/service-fabric/service-fabric-cluster-capacity.md#durability-characteristics-of-the-cluster) will continue to function even after this change. If you require physical hardware isolation for other reasons, you may still need to take one of the actions described above.
