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 Azure region for a set term (1 or 3 years) in exchange for a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing.
How does this reservation save money?
By committing to a 3-year term, you lock in a lower price for your Azure compute capacity. This is ideal for workloads that are predictable and run consistently, as it eliminates the higher per-hour cost of on-demand instances.
Can I change the VM size or region after purchase?
Azure Reserved Instances offer flexibility. You can exchange or cancel reservations under certain conditions, and you can modify the scope of your reservation to apply it to different VM sizes within the same family or to different regions.
