Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance (RI) is a pricing model that allows you to commit to using a specific Azure VM size in a particular region for a 1-year or 3-year term. In exchange for this commitment, you receive a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go rates.
How does a Reserved VM Instance save me money?
By reserving capacity, you are essentially pre-paying for compute resources, which Azure offers at a lower price than if you were to pay for them on an as-needed basis. The savings are applied automatically to eligible running VMs in your subscription.
Can I change the VM size or region after purchasing a reservation?
Azure Reserved Instances offer flexibility. You can exchange or cancel reservations, though terms and conditions apply. It is recommended to review Azure's RI modification policies for specific details.
