Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance (RI) is a commitment to use specific virtual machine types in a particular Azure region for a 1- or 3-year term. In exchange for this commitment, you receive a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing.
How does this reservation save money?
By committing to a 3-year term, you are essentially pre-purchasing compute capacity at a lower rate than the standard on-demand price. This is ideal for workloads with predictable usage patterns.
Can I change the VM size or region after purchase?
While you cannot change the exact VM size or region of a purchased reservation, Azure offers flexibility through reservation exchanges or modifications under certain conditions. Consult Azure documentation for the latest policies.
