Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance is a commitment to use a specific type of virtual machine in a particular region for a set term (e.g., 1 or 3 years). In exchange for this commitment, you receive a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing.
How does a Reserved VM Instance save money?
By committing to a reservation, you are essentially pre-purchasing compute capacity at a lower rate. This is ideal for workloads with consistent usage patterns, as it guarantees cost savings over the reservation term.
Can I change the VM size or region after purchasing a reservation?
While the reservation is tied to a specific VM size and region, Azure offers flexibility. You can exchange or modify reservations under certain conditions, and you can also reserve capacity for different VM families or regions.
