Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance is a commitment to use a specific VM type in a particular region for a set term (1 or 3 years) in exchange for a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing. It guarantees capacity for your workloads.
How does monthly billing work for a 3-year reservation?
With monthly billing, the total cost of the 3-year reservation is divided into equal monthly payments. You pay this fixed amount each month for the duration of the 3-year term.
