Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance is a pricing model that allows you to commit to using specific Azure virtual machine resources for a 1 or 3-year term in exchange for a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go prices. It guarantees capacity in the chosen region and VM size.
How does this differ from a pay-as-you-go VM?
With pay-as-you-go, you pay for compute capacity by the second or hour, with no upfront commitment. A Reserved Instance requires an upfront commitment for a set term and region, offering substantial cost savings and guaranteed capacity in return.
Can I change the VM size or region after purchasing a reservation?
While the reservation itself is tied to a specific VM size and region, Azure offers flexibility through reservation exchanges and modifications under certain conditions. It is advisable to consult Azure documentation or a Zent Networks specialist for the most current options.
