Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Azure Reserved VM Instance?
An Azure Reserved VM Instance is a commitment to use specific virtual machine types in a particular region for a 1-year or 3-year term. This commitment allows you to 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-paying for compute capacity, which Azure offers at a substantially lower rate than on-demand instances. This is ideal for workloads with predictable usage patterns.
Can I change the VM instance type or region after purchasing a reservation?
Azure Reserved Instances can be exchanged for other reservations, or cancelled for a fee, allowing for some flexibility if your needs change. However, the primary benefit comes from matching the reservation to your stable workload requirements.
