Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance (RVI) is a commitment to use specific Azure virtual machine types 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 pricing.
How does this save my business money?
By committing to a 3-year term for the NC12 instance in US East 2, you lock in a lower price than if you were to pay for the compute resources on an hourly basis. This is ideal for workloads that run continuously or for predictable durations.
What happens if my compute needs change?
While the reservation is for a specific VM type and region, Azure offers flexibility. You can exchange or cancel reservations under certain conditions, though it is best to align your reservation term with your expected long-term usage.
