Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Microsoft Azure Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance is a commitment to use specific Azure virtual machines in a particular region for a one- or three-year term. In exchange for this commitment, you receive a significant discount on the hourly price compared to pay-as-you-go rates.
How does a reservation save money?
Reservations offer a lower price per hour for the VM instance compared to pay-as-you-go pricing. By committing to a 3-year term, you lock in these savings for the entire duration, leading to substantial cost reductions for predictable workloads.
What happens at the end of the 3-year term?
