Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance (RI) is a pricing model where you commit to using specific Azure virtual machine types 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.
How does the discount apply?
The discount is automatically applied to eligible running VMs that match the instance attributes (type, region, OS) of your reservation. You do not need to take any action for the savings to be realized.
Can I change the VM instance type or region after purchase?
Azure Reserved Instances are specific to the instance type and region purchased. While you can exchange or cancel reservations under certain conditions, modifications are not direct. It is best to plan your capacity needs carefully before purchasing.
